Docker run github branch/pull request

I forked whilp/ssh-agent and created a feature enhancement and submitted a pull request.

I want to reference/use my branch until it is accepted. On my CI agents, and I don't want to go locally to each one to build a local image.

github.com/rosskevin/ssh-agent branch: feature-known-hosts is what I'd like to use with the run command, is this possible? I can't find references to using github (not to mention a branch) with run, only build.

i.e. 

docker run -d --name=ssh-agent whilp/ssh-agent \
   github.com/rosskevin/ssh-agent -b feature-known-hosts

Any other advice on docker project patches/workflow/best practices? This is really easy with Bundler, looking for an analog here.

You can't run a docker image directly from GitHub, because GitHub is made to store only the code itself.

When you run the following command:

docker run -d --name=ssh-agent whilp/ssh-agent

Docker is looking for whilp/ssh-agent on Docker Hub, and not on GitHub. Docker Hub is the equivalent of GitHub for Docker images.

To use your pull request the same way you are using whilp/ssh-agent, you need to create an account on Docker Hub, and create an automated build based on your ssh-agent fork (tutorial here).

Finally, you will be able to use your version with:

docker run -d --name=ssh-agent <username>/ssh-agent
