The Build with URL instructions found here work for Ubuntu and Mac but do not work for CentOS. When I attempt to build on CentOS I see the following error:

[brendan@yawl2 ~]$ docker build github.com/creack/docker-firefox
unable to prepare context: unable to 'git clone' to temporary context directory: error initializing submodules: usage: git submodule [--quiet] add [-b <branch>] [-f|--force] [--name <name>] [--reference <repository>] [--] <repository> [<path>]

Docker 18.02 run a git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1 after a git clone. However --depth parameter is not supported by git below 2.10. If you are using CentOS(7.5 comes with git 1.8.3.1) like me, just upgrade your git.

# for EL7
sudo yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
sudo yum swap git git2u
