Description

Summary: Take advantege of the SOURCE_BRANCH environment variable provided by dockerhub to allow our dockerfile to build docker images based on branches. (This idea comes from the #168 PR)

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Allow people to test things using docker for specific branches.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current Dockerfile to understand how build arguments are handled. Add an ARG for SOURCE BRANCH and pass it from the Docker build command, typically via the build arg flag. Ensure the SOURCE BRANCH environment variable is available in the build context, e.g., from Docker Hub automated builds.
