distrobox-create: Clone a distrobox container.
$ distrobox-create --clone ${container_name} ${cloned_container_name}
try on your machine
This command is used to create a new container by cloning an existing container in a particular Linux distribution.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
distrobox-create
: This is the command used to create a new container. It is likely part of a package or tool specifically created for managing containers.--clone
: This option specifies that the new container will be created by cloning an existing container.${container_name}
: This is a variable (denoted by the$
sign) that represents the name of the existing container you want to clone. You need to replace${container_name}
with the actual name of the container.${cloned_container_name}
: This is another variable representing the name you want to give to the newly created cloned container. Like${container_name}
, you need to provide the desired name by replacing${cloned_container_name}
.
By executing this command with the appropriate values for ${container_name}
and ${cloned_container_name}
, a new container will be created as a duplicate of the existing container. The cloned container can then be modified or used independently while preserving the original container.
