$ hadolint ${path-to-Dockerfile}
try on your machine

The command "hadolint" is a tool used for linting Dockerfiles, which means it checks and analyzes them for potential errors, bad practices, and improvements. In the given command, "${path-to-Dockerfile}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path or location of the Dockerfile you want to lint. The linting process involves scanning the Dockerfile and providing feedback on any issues found. For example, if your Dockerfile is located at "/path/to/Dockerfile", the command would be: hadolint /path/to/Dockerfile This will run the hadolint tool on the specified Dockerfile and display any errors or suggestions for improving the file.
