# drone plugin example

For example, this implements a complex custom clone step (involving merging and pushing to a remote repository):

  - name: clone
    image: kaspar030/drone-clone
    settings:
      SSH_KEY:
        from_secret: ssh_key_clone
      mode: clone
      base_repo: ${DRONE_REPO_LINK}
      base_branch: ${DRONE_REPO_BRANCH}
      build_repo: ${DRONE_GIT_HTTP_URL}
      build_branch: ${DRONE_SOURCE_BRANCH}
      build_commit: ${CI_COMMIT_SHA}
      merge_commit_repo: riot-ci/RIOT

The "guts" of this are ~140 lines of package installation, git magic, error handling:
