Comment 1 Ben Parees 2019-02-13 17:53:19 UTC

Git is expected(though not required) to be installed on the client machine where you are running "oc new-app".

No one should be using an rhcos machine as their client machine for invoking oc new-app, so installing git on it is inappropriate.

oc new-app is a developer facing tool.

Comment 3 Ben Breard 2019-02-13 18:14:59 UTC

I completely agree with Ben here.

Once our images move to UBI, this  will partially help w/ repos, but it will only have a subset of content and I don't believe git is included. As a workaround, toolbox can use the rhel-tools container.

create ~/.toolboxrc
REGISTRY=registry.redhat.io
IMAGE=rhel7/rhel-tools:latest
