## Upgrade from v1
`v2` of this action includes significant updates and now uses Docker [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx). It
works with 3 new actions ([login](https://github.com/docker/login-action), [setup-buildx](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action)
and [setup-qemu](https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action)) that we have created. It's also rewritten as a
[typescript-action](https://github.com/actions/typescript-action/) to be as close as possible of the
[GitHub Runner](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments) during its execution.

still available through [`releases/v1` branch](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/tree/releases/v1).

## About
GitHub Action to build and push Docker images with [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx).
GitHub Action to build and push Docker images with [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx) with full support of the
features provided by [Moby BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) builder toolkit. This includes multi-platform
build, secrets, remote cache, etc. and different builder deployment/namespacing options.

## Usage
This action uses our [setup-buildx](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action) action that extends the
`docker build` command named [buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx) with the full support of the features
provided by [Moby BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) builder toolkit. This includes multi-arch build,
build-secrets, remote cache, etc. and different builder deployment/namespacing options.
By default, this action uses the [Git context](#git-context) so you don't need to use the
[`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout/) action to checkout the repository because this will be
done directly by buildkit. The git reference will be based on the [event that triggered your workflow](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows)
and will result in the following context: `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git#<ref>`.
Be careful because **any file mutation in the steps that precede the build step will be ignored** since
the context is based on the git reference. However, you can use the [Path context](#path-context) using the
[`context` input](#inputs) alongside the [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout/) action to remove
this restriction.
In the examples below we are using 3 other actions:
* [`setup-buildx`](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action) action will create and boot a builder using by
default the `docker-container` [builder driver](https://github.com/docker/buildx#--driver-driver). This is
**not required but recommended** using it to be able to build multi-platform images, export cache, etc.
* [`setup-qemu`](https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action) action can be useful if you want
to add emulation support with QEMU to be able to build against more platforms.
* [`login`](https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action) action will take care to log in against a Docker registry.
### Git context
The default behavior of this action is to use the Git context invoked by your workflow.
(eg. `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git#<ref>`)
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
branches: master
branches:
- 'master'
jobs:
main:

Building from current repository automatically uses the [GitHub Token](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token)
as provided by `secrets` so it does not need to be passed. But if you want to authenticate against another private
repository, you have to use a secret named `GIT_AUTH_TOKEN` to be able to authenticate against it with buildx:

## Advanced usage
### Push to multi-registries
The following workflow will connect you to [DockerHub](https://github.com/docker/login-action#dockerhub)
and [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/docker/login-action#github-container-registry) and push the
image to these registries.

### Local registry
For testing purposes you may need to create a [local registry](https://hub.docker.com/_/registry) to push images into:

### Export image to Docker
You may want your build result to be available in the Docker client through `docker images` to be able to use it
in another step of your workflow:

-

```
</details>
### Leverage GitHub cache
You can leverage [GitHub cache](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows)
using [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) with this action:

```

### Handle tags and labels
If you come from [`v1`](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/tree/releases/v1#readme) and want an
"automatic" tag management and [OCI Image Format Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/master/annotations.md)
for labels, you can do it in a dedicated step. The following workflow will use the [Docker meta action](https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-docker-meta)
to handle tags and labels based on GitHub actions events and Git metadata.
<details>
<summary><b>Show workflow</b></summary>
```yaml

tags: ${{ steps.docker_meta.outputs.tags }}
labels: ${{ steps.docker_meta.outputs.labels }}
```
</details>
### Update DockerHub repo description
You can update the [DockerHub repository description](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/repos/) using
a third-party action called [DockerHub Description](https://github.com/peter-evans/dockerhub-description)
with this action:

### Multi-line secret value
To handle multi-line value for a secret, you will need to place the key-value pair between quotes:
```yaml
secrets: |
"MYSECRET=${{ secrets.GPG_KEY }}"
GIT_AUTH_TOKEN=abcdefghi,jklmno=0123456789
"MYSECRET=aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
ccccccccc"
FOO=bar
"EMPTYLINE=aaaa

"JSON_SECRET={""key1"":""value1"",""key2"":""value2""}"
```

| `GIT_AUTH_TOKEN` | `abcdefghi,jklmno=0123456789` |
| `MYSECRET` | `aaaaaaaa\nbbbbbbb\nccccccccc` |
| `FOO` | `bar` |
| `EMPTYLINE` | `aaaa\n\nbbbb\nccc` |
| `JSON_SECRET` | `{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}` |
> Note: all quote signs need to be doubled for escaping.
