What are you trying to accomplish?
By reducing the amount of layers in the final image we can reduce the load on GHCR.
My strategy here was to stick all the COPY statements, which each produce a layer, into a builder image and then just do one final COPY to move $DEPENDABOT_HOME into it's final place.
On my local machine this reduced the Go image from 80 to 39 layers.
Anything you want to highlight for special attention from reviewers?
How will you know you've accomplished your goal?
The builds will pass. Deploy cautiously as Copilot helped with this.
