How do you shell into an Alpine/git container?

Question

How do you shell into this image?

https://hub.docker.com/r/alpine/git

I tried:

docker pull alpine/git
docker run -it --rm alpine/git /bin/sh

but get

git: '/bin/sh' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

You have to override the entry point (which is git). Otherwise, command line arguments are interpreted as arguments to git.

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh alpine/git
