docker: Assign a name and tag to a specific image ID.
$ docker tag ${id} ${name}:${tag}
try on your machine

This command is used in Docker to tag an image with a specified name and tag.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • docker tag is the Docker command used to tag an image.
  • ${id} is a variable that represents the image ID or image hash. It is used to identify the image that you want to tag.
  • ${name} is a variable that represents the desired name for the image.
  • ${tag} is a variable that represents the desired tag for the image.

So, when you run the command docker tag ${id} ${name}:${tag}, you are specifying the image that you want to tag by using its ID, and then providing the desired name and tag for that image.

For example, if ${id} is set to f1a4ab2, ${name} is set to myimage, and ${tag} is set to v1, running the command docker tag f1a4ab2 myimage:v1 would tag the image with the name myimage and the tag v1.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
