Stop at a specific build stage
When getting the Docker image, we may provide the target build stage with the –target flag to stop at that particular point. This allows you to halt the build process as certain points without building the stages that followed.
docker build --target build -t your-image-name .
The parameter --target build defines the 'build' target build stage. This tells Docker to terminate the build process once the commands provided in the 'build' stage have been performed out.
-t your-image-name
assigns a tag (name) to the Docker image..
indicates the current directory where the Dockerfile is located.
