Stripping a Go binary in Docker

DockerImage OptimisationStatic binariesadvanced

What this snippet does

Dropping the symbol table and debug info shrinks the binary substantially.

Expected output

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.8M /out/app

Why practise typing this

Typing image optimisation code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
