It depends on where you are running git-credential-libsecret: you need to have it installed in your image/container, not on the host.

Note that another option would be to use a volume (see my answer to your previous question), in which case, git could be installed only on the host.

But here, you would use git directly in your image, which means, as in this Dockerfile, you need to have in your Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update -y &&
apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y libsecret-1-0 git
