The command podman build --no-cache ${path-to-directory} is used to build a container image using Podman, a Linux tool to manage and run containers.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• podman: This is the command to interact with Podman, the container engine.
• build: This sub-command is used to build a container image.
• --no-cache: This option tells Podman to not use any cached layers during the build process. By default, Podman uses a cache to speed up future builds by reusing layers from previous builds. Using --no-cache ensures that each layer is always rebuilt from scratch, which can be useful when you want to make sure that all the dependencies are up-to-date and not relying on cached layers.
• ${path-to-directory}: This is the directory path where the Dockerfile (a file that describes the steps to create the container image) and any other necessary files for building the image are located. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual directory path in your system.

In summary, this command instructs Podman to build a container image from the Dockerfile located in the specified directory without using any cached layers.
