## Usage
To launch a Bash session in your terminal:
```bash
docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools
```
To launch a Bash session in your terminal on arm64:
```bash
docker run --rm -it --platform linux/arm64 jonlabelle/network-tools
```
To run a command directly and exit when finished (nmap in this case):
```bash
docker run --rm -it jonlabelle/network-tools nmap -v 10.0.10.0/24
```
> **NOTE:** To pull from [GitHub Container Registry], instead of [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jonlabelle/network-tools),
> replace **jonlabelle/network-tools** with **_ghcr.io/jonlabelle/network-tools_**.
