1. Download container description (Dockerfile)
2. Upon image build it "compiles things" (e.g. processes/assembles javascript)
3. Build fails, because it pulls architecture incompatible library (or does not pull architecture mandated library)
4. Fix build scripts, rebuild container image
5. Verify container
6. Pull repo
7. Reproduce changes, commit
8. Push
Nothing apart clone-edit-push happens on the repo. The code can be executed on a remote, hardened, isolated system. With proliferation of containers I guess this scenario will become more and more common among ops people.
