docker: Lint a Dockerfile.
$ docker-slim lint --target ${path-to-Dockerfile}
try on your machine

The command docker-slim lint --target ${path-to-Dockerfile} is used to analyze a Dockerfile using Docker-Slim's linting functionality. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • docker-slim lint: This specifies that we want to use the lint command provided by Docker-Slim. This command is used to analyze Dockerfiles and check for any potential issues or improvements in your Docker image.
  • --target ${path-to-Dockerfile}: This specifies the target Dockerfile that you want to analyze. ${path-to-Dockerfile} should be replaced with the actual path to your Dockerfile. By providing the path to your Dockerfile here, Docker-Slim knows which file to analyze for linting.

Overall, the command instructs Docker-Slim to perform linting on the specified Dockerfile, helping you identify any potential problems or improvements in your Docker image build process.
