Excluding build noise in Docker

DockerCOPY & ADDdockerignorebeginner

What this snippet does

A .dockerignore file keeps large or secret paths out of the build context entirely.

Expected output

=> transferring context: 84.2kB

Why practise typing this

Typing copy & add 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.
