DOCKER-BUILDX-USE(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

docker-buildx-use — bestie, this is the one that sets your current builder instance. That's it, that's the whole job, and it slays at it. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

docker buildx use [OPTIONS] NAME

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got multiple builder instances and you're tired of telling every single command which one you mean. Not anymore. This command switches the current builder instance, and every build command you run after it will run on that builder you just picked. Main character behaviour, honestly. 👑

And like, plot twist — you can also hand it a context name, and it'll switch you to the default builder of that context. Versatile. We love her. 💖

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --default[=false] — set the builder as the default for the current context. Wanna make it official? This is how. 🫶
• --global[=false] — the builder persists across context changes. Lowkey the "I said what I said" flag.
• -h, --help[=false] — help for use. Your lil cheat sheet, always there for you. 💜

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• --builder="" — override the configured builder instance. The parent command passes this down, so it's here too. iykyk. ✨

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Override the configured builder instance (--builder) {#builder}

Same as buildx --builder — go peep /reference/cli/docker/buildx/#builder for the full tea. ☕
