I don’t mind this problem so much but what does drive me crazy with Docker images is that oftentimes all those crazy top level files are included in the Docker image (for no reason). I’ve even seen
.git/in Docker images.I prefer the Dockerfile itself to be at the top level but it feels like no one wants to keep their layers clean. But writing Dockerfile syntax is an art form in itself that I probably shouldn’t continue rambling about here.
