Docker4drupal, d4d - how to see/access files of the conteiner? How to edit files? How to commit files of Drupal to git?

[o771e]

There are files in the php container, ls -1

composer.json
composer.lock
vendor
web

Where are they? I was expecting them in my d4d folder?
My d-c.yml

php:
    volumes:
    - ./:/var/www/html:cached
nginx:
    volumes:
    - ./:/var/www/html:cached

What do I do to be able to see files?

I don't get the whole purpuse of D4d, why it even exists if I still need to go to Drupal org and get drupal-core recommended, erase .git folder of d4d and checkout drupal-core-recommended. And it won't clone becuase folder is not empty.
Do I store d4d git separately from drupal-core?

I just don't get this whole project and why it exists

There are better php images if there is no Drupal: https://github.com/thecodingmachine/docker-images-php

It was really hard to understand this but d4d is not meant for using Drupal files that go inside of it. Install Drupal separately.

This is not true.. you start the stack, composer create-project drupal/core-recommended and theres drupal. you shouldnt be git clone-ing Drupal into the project, you should use composer.

Do I store d4d git separately from drupal-core?
