Sebastiaan van Stijn 8ff6f243a2 scripts/build: omit DWARF debug information by default
Pass -w to the Go linker to reduce binary size while retaining the
symbol table for tools that inspect Go binaries.

For a linux/arm64 build, this reduces the CLI binary from 39,809,791
to 31,310,197 bytes: a saving of 8.5 MB (21.4%).

Place the default before caller-supplied GO_LDFLAGS so builds can
retain DWARF by passing GO_LDFLAGS="-w=0".

Before

    ls -l /go/src/github.com/docker/cli/build/docker-linux-arm64
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39809791 Oct 29 17:34 /go/src/github.com/docker/cli/build/docker-linux-arm64

After

    ls -l /go/src/github.com/docker/cli/build/docker-linux-arm64
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31310197 Oct 29 17:36 /go/src/github.com/docker/cli/build/docker-linux-arm64

About

This repository is the home of the Docker CLI.

Development

docker/cli is developed using Docker.

Build CLI from source:

docker buildx bake

Build binaries for all supported platforms:

docker buildx bake cross

Build for a specific platform:

docker buildx bake --set binary.platform=linux/arm64 

Build dynamic binary for glibc or musl:

USE_GLIBC=1 docker buildx bake dynbinary 

Run all linting:

docker buildx bake lint shellcheck

Run test:

docker buildx bake test

Run the unit test:

$ make -f docker.Makefile test-unit

Run the full test suite:

$ make -f docker.Makefile test

List all the available targets:

make help
