# docker-buildx-cache: Improved version of "docker buildx du" and "docker buildx prune"

```

usage: docker-buildx-cache [-h] [--builder BUILDER]

                           [--description-len DESCRIPTION_LEN]

                           [--verbose] [--until UNTIL]

                           {du,prune}

When "du" action is run, calls "docker builds du --verbose" under

the hood and represents its output in a "forest" form. Cache layers

are displayed with corresponding nesting. Colors are used to

highlight layers with common parents.

When "prune" action is run, calls "docker buildx prune", then

analyzes its output, the output of du, and additionally calls

"docker buildx prune" again to prune even more layers. If --verbose

is used, prints "before" and "after" forests. This action exists to

work-around the default pruning mis-behavior explained here:

https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/5436

positional arguments:

  {du,prune}            action to perform

options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --builder BUILDER     builder name passed to the underlying

                        "docker buildx" commands (default: None)

  --description-len DESCRIPTION_LEN

                        shorten the description of each layer to

                        this length (default: 70)

  --verbose             print detailed colorful output (default:

                        False)

  --until UNTIL         required for "prune" action; holds numeric

                        timestamp, ISO date timestamp or duration

                        string; only the layers older than this

                        timestamp will be pruned (default: None)
