Answer 1

I've solved issue with GUI through usage of MinGit and by putting information about mingit into environment/path variable. I've used following approach:

RUN Invoke-WebRequest 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.12.2.windows.2/MinGit-2.12.2.2-64-bit.zip' -OutFile MinGit.zip

RUN Expand-Archive c:\MinGit.zip -DestinationPath c:\MinGit; \
$env:PATH = $env:PATH + ';C:\MinGit\cmd\;C:\MinGit\cmd'; \
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\' -Name Path -Value $env:PATH
