Docker CLI

The Docker Command Line Interface (CLI) is the primary tool for interacting with Docker, allowing developers to build, run, and manage containers and images from the terminal. It provides commands for container lifecycle management, image handling, networking, and system configuration, serving as the core interface for Docker operations.

Also known as: docker command line, docker commands, docker terminal, docker shell, docker cli tool

Why learn Docker CLI?

Developers should learn Docker CLI to efficiently manage containerized applications in development, testing, and production environments, as it enables automation, scripting, and direct control over Docker resources. It is essential for tasks like building custom images, debugging containers, and orchestrating deployments in CI/CD pipelines.
