hi Ben,

following your examples in Dockerfile (thanks!). Why do you need to create the directory (line 16of your Dockerfile) first before doing the git clone rather than letting 'git clone' create it? I had to do the same and didn't understand why.

I also found my Docker file slightly more readable by adding an ENV variable for the root. See

As ever, I'm learning lots about this from you, thanks.
