+# Git tasks
+
+These Tasks are Git tasks to clone a repository in the workspace to be
+used by other tasks in a Pipeline.
+
+This is a `Task` that does the job of the `GitResource`
+`PipelineResource`. This is linked to
+[tektoncd/pipeline#1369](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/issues/1369).
+
+## `fetch-git`
+
+### Inputs
+
+#### Parameters
+
+* **url**: git url to clone
+* **revision**: git revision to checkout (branch, tag, sha, ref…) (_default:_ master)
+* **workingDirectory**: working directory to clone (_default:_ .)
+* **submodules**: init and fetch recursively submodules (_default:_ true)
+
+## Usage
+
+### `fetch-git`
+
+This pipeline uses the Task to clone the
+[`tektoncd/pipeline`](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline) repository
+and display the README in the next step
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
+kind: Task
+metadata:
+  name: cat-readme
+spec:
+  steps:
+  - name: clone
+    image: ubuntu
+    workingdir: /workspace/src/
+    command:
+    - /bin/bash
+	- -c
+    args:
+    - "cat README"
+    volumeMounts:
+    - name: source
+      mountPath: /workspace/src
+---
+apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
+kind: Pipeline
+metadata:
+  name: cat-pipeline-readme
+spec:
+  tasks:
+  - name: fetch-repository
+    taskRef:
+      name: fetch-git
+    params:
+    - name: url
+      value: github.com/tektoncd/pipeline
+  - name: cat-readme
+    taskRef:
+      name: echo-readme
+```
+
+This pipeline can be used as the following `PipelineRun` does.
+
+```yaml
+kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
+apiVersion: v1
+metadata:
+  name: source
+spec:
+  accessModes:
+    - ReadWriteOnce
+  resources:
+    requests:
