Merging Images

The commit command will merge all the base images used in the container. This behavior can be overridden with the --no-base flag.

For example, if a container were created with the command turbo run git/git,nuget/nuget and later committed with the command turbo commit <container id> my-new-image, the new image would contain:

• Any files and registry keys created or modified in the container
• The files and registry keys from the git/git image
• The files and registry keys from the nuget/nuget image

However, if the same container were committed with the command turbo commit --no-base <container id> my-new-image, my-new-image would only contain the files and registry keys created or modified in the container. The git/git and nuget/nuget images are included as a dependency at runtime.

Startup File

To alter the selected startup file, apply the new value with --startup-file parameter. All parameters which are passed after the --args flag will be used as parameters to the startup file.

JSON output

When --format=json option was passed this command will provide output in JSON format. It will contain either an image object with information about commited image or an error object if command failed.
