## 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.

### Quick start

```yaml
name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  main:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1 
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        id: docker_build
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          push: true
          tags: user/app:latest
      -
        name: Image digest
        run: echo ${{ steps.docker_build.outputs.digest }}
```

### Multi-platform image

```yaml
name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  multi:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1 
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          context: .
          file: ./Dockerfile
          platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/386
          push: true
          tags: |
            user/app:latest
            user/app:1.0.0
```

### Git context

You can build from Git directly without [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout/) action,
even in private repositories if your `context` is a valid Git url:

```yaml
name: ci

on:
  push:
    branches: master

jobs:
  git-context:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        name: Set up QEMU
        uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
        with:
          platforms: all
      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
        with:
          version: latest
      -
        name: Login to DockerHub
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-docker-login@v1
        with:
          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_PASSWORD }}
      -
        name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          builder: ${{ steps.buildx.outputs.name }}
          context: "${{ github.repositoryUrl }}#${{ github.ref }}"
          platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/386
          push: true
          tags: |
            name/app:latest
            name/app:1.0.0
        env:
          GIT_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
```

### Complete workflow

* On `pull_request` event, Docker image `name/app:edge` is **built**.
* On `push` event, Docker image `name/app:edge` is **built** and **pushed** to DockerHub.
* On `schedule` event, Docker image `name/app:nightly` is **built** and **pushed** to DockerHub.
* On `push tags` event, Docker image `name/app:<version>` and `name/app:latest` is **built** and **pushed** to DockerHub.
