This example shows the use of the `.dockerignore` file to exclude the `.git`
directory from the context. Its effect can be seen in the changed size of the
uploaded context. The builder reference contains detailed information on
[creating a .dockerignore file](../builder.md#dockerignore-file)
[creating a .dockerignore file](../builder.md#dockerignore-file).
When using the [BuildKit backend](../builder.md#buildkit), `docker build` searches
for a `.dockerignore` file relative to the Dockerfile name. For example, running
`docker build -f myapp.Dockerfile .` will first look for an ignore file named
`myapp.Dockerfile.dockerignore`. If such a file is not found, the `.dockerignore`
file is used if present. Using a Dockerfile based `.dockerignore` is useful if a
project contains multiple Dockerfiles that expect to ignore different sets of
files.

### Custom build outputs
By default, a local container image is created from the build result. The
`--output` (or `-o`) flag allows you to override this behavior, and a specify a
custom exporter. For example, custom exporters allow you to export the build
artifacts as files on the local filesystem instead of a Docker image, which can
be useful for generating local binaries, code generation etc.
The value for `--output` is a CSV-formatted string defining the exporter type
and options. Currently, `local` and `tar` exporters are supported. The `local`
exporter writes the resulting build files to a directory on the client side. The
`tar` exporter is similar but writes the files as a single tarball (`.tar`).
If no type is specified, the value defaults to the output directory of the local
exporter. Use a hyphen (`-`) to write the output tarball to standard output
(`STDOUT`).
The following example builds an image using the current directory (`.`) as build
context, and exports the files to a directory named `out` in the current directory.
If the directory does not exist, Docker creates the directory automatically:
```bash
$ docker build -o out .
```
The example above uses the short-hand syntax, omitting the `type` options, and
thus uses the default (`local`) exporter. The example below shows the equivalent
using the long-hand CSV syntax, specifying both `type` and `dest` (destination
path):
```bash
$ docker build --output type=local,dest=out .
```
Use the `tar` type to export the files as a `.tar` archive:
```bash
$ docker build --output type=tar,dest=out.tar .
```
The example below shows the equivalent when using the short-hand syntax. In this
case, `-` is specified as destination, which automatically selects the `tar` type,
and writes the output tarball to standard output, which is then redirected to
the `out.tar` file:
```bash
docker build -o - . > out.tar
```
The `--output` option exports all files from the target stage. A common pattern
for exporting only specific files is to do multi-stage builds and to copy the
desired files to a new scratch stage with [`COPY --from`](../builder.md#copy).
The example `Dockerfile` below uses a separate stage to collect the
build-artifacts for exporting:
```Dockerfile
FROM golang AS build-stage
RUN go get -u github.com/LK4D4/vndr
FROM scratch AS export-stage
COPY --from=build-stage /go/bin/vndr /
```
When building the Dockerfile with the `-o` option, only the files from the final
stage are exported to the `out` directory, in this case, the `vndr` binary:
```bash
$ docker build -o out .

### Specifying external cache sources
In addition to local build cache, the builder can reuse the cache generated from
previous builds with the `--cache-from` flag pointing to an image in the registry.
To use an image as a cache source, cache metadata needs to be written into the
image on creation. This can be done by setting `--build-arg BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1`
when building the image. After that, the built image can be used as a cache source
for subsequent builds.
Upon importing the cache, the builder will only pull the JSON metadata from the
registry and determine possible cache hits based on that information. If there
is a cache hit, the matched layers are pulled into the local environment.
In addition to images, the cache can also be pulled from special cache manifests
generated by [`buildx`](https://github.com/docker/buildx) or the BuildKit CLI
(`buildctl`). These manifests (when built with the `type=registry` and `mode=max`
options) allow pulling layer data for intermediate stages in multi-stage builds.
The following example builds an image with inline-cache metadata and pushes it
to a registry, then uses the image as a cache source on another machine:
```bash
$ docker build -t myname/myapp --build-arg BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1 .
$ docker push myname/myapp
```
After pushing the image, the image is used as cache source on another machine.
BuildKit automatically pulls the image from the registry if needed.
```bash
# on another machine
$ docker build --cache-from myname/myapp .
```
> **Note**: This feature requires the BuildKit backend. You can either
> [enable BuildKit](../builder.md#buildkit) or use the [buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx)
> plugin. The previous builder has limited support for reusing cache from
> pre-pulled images.
