GitHub Actions – No .git folder fix for Docker builds

Fought demons with this one- turns out the docker/build-push-action just ignores the actions/checkout action’s checkout, which means there’s just no .git directory…

Solution: add context: .

• this just uses the checked-out context instead of whatever was the existing context pre-checkout which apparently had no .git folder.

Thanks to this StackOverflow link I found docker – How can I copy .git directory to the container with GitHub actions? - Stack Overflow and user @larsks
