Example job and workflow definitions: jobs: my\_job: steps: - checkout - run: more\_stuff workflows: version: 2 my\_workflow: jobs: - my\_job: filters: tags: only: /^v.\*/ branches: ignore: /.\*/ When I create an annotated tag (git tag -a my-annotated-tag) and push it to GitHub, my\_workflow runs as expected, but my\_job fails during Che…

Either git or ssh (required by git to clone through SSH) is not installed in the image. Falling back to CircleCI's native git client but the behavior may be different from official git. If this is an issue, please use an image that has official git and ssh installed.
