I have one gitlab runner on digital ocean, i can see my build is passed but am not able to figure out where it cloned my repo, on console of the build shows following 

Cloning repository... Cloning into **'/builds/.....'**

Where is this builds directory on the system?

I followed following documentation for setting up gitlab runner

https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/19/how-to-set-up-gitlab-runner-on-digitalocean/

I checked /home/gitlab-runner directory but it's empty.

Given the docs you followed you are using a Docker executor meaning that every job that is executed a given Docker container is started and your job (and thus your clone in the pre-build phase) and its commands are executed within the Docker container(s).

After the job (success or fail) the Gitlab Runner removes the container(s).

after posting the question i realized the same, i can see the exited container on the runner machine, but i don't think there is a way to start the container again. i am trying to start the exited container with docker start, but it exits immediately. Could you suggest me a way to start the exited container so that i can get inside the container and check the folder?
You could try a docker run -it <container_id> bash
