Using gitRepo to mount a Git repository

    - mountPath: /var/run/docker.sock 
      name: docker-socket 
    - mountPath: /src 
      name: github 
  volumes: 
  - name: docker-socket 
    hostPath: 
      path: /var/run/docker.sock

  - name: github 
    gitRepo: 
      repository: https://github...
