# alpine-cli

A minimal image for running Linux CLI utilities - shell scripts and similar.
This is useful for both interactive purposes or as the basis for other utility
images.

## Quickstart

```console
docker run -ti --rm ghcr.io/jswank/alpine-cli
~ $ ^D
exit
```

A script, using [casey/just](https://github.com/casey/just') is in [bin/cli](bin/cli). 
It can be used to quickly start an ephemeral (or persistent) container:

```console
bin/cli
~ $ ^D
exit

bin/cli persist
~ $ ls
~ $ 
exit

podman cp foo.json alpine-cli:/home/cli

bin/cli persist
~ $ ls
foo.json
~ $ 
exit
```
