git - Sharing docker envinroment

Question

What's the right way to share environment and code between team members? I need this for local development. In my vision, a developer download from a git repo the environment (basically a docker compose with subfolders and configuration), then pull from another repo the code and put it inside the right folder of the previous structure.

REPO1 -> docker-compose with configuration, specific Dockerfile etc.
REPO2 -> code

So I'll have two separate, and then nested, git repositories, at this point I can build and deploy the whole thing. Is it the right path?

• Should I build a docker image and share that, instead of the environment details? Can I then pull code and insert it?
• How do you commit empty folder (the one that will be used to host the code) in a git repository without using the ".keep file" trick?

As you can see I'm a newbie and have quite a bit of confusion in my head. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
