Codebase Topic Categorization
Motivation: To improve codebase understanding and maintainability, we categorize code into topics. This helps developers quickly understand the purpose of a file or directory and locate relevant code.
Categorization:
The following categories are used to classify files and directories in the Docker CLI codebase:
- Core CLI: Contains core functionality of the Docker CLI, including commands, flags, and general usage.
- Client: Handles communication with the Docker daemon and provides high-level interfaces for interacting with Docker services.
- Daemon: Provides the core functionality of the Docker engine, including container management, image building, and networking.
- Builder: Manages the Dockerfile parsing and image building process.
- Networking: Handles network management for Docker containers, including network creation, configuration, and connectivity.
- Plugins: Provides an interface for extending the Docker CLI with external functionality.
- Experimental: Contains experimental features and components that are not yet ready for production use.
- Tools: Contains utilities and scripts that support the development and testing of the Docker CLI.
- Documentation: Contains documentation for the Docker CLI, including user guides, API reference, and developer documentation.
- Examples: Contains examples of how to use the Docker CLI and its features.
- Testing: Contains unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests for the Docker CLI.
- Release: Contains scripts and utilities used to release new versions of the Docker CLI.
- Build: Contains scripts and utilities used to build the Docker CLI.
- Utils: Contains utilities and helper functions used across the Docker CLI codebase.
Example:
- Core CLI:
docker/cli/command/command.go - Client:
docker/cli/client/client.go - Daemon:
docker/daemon/daemon.go - Builder:
docker/builder/builder.go - Networking:
docker/network/network.go - Plugins:
docker/cli/plugin/plugin.go - Experimental:
docker/experimental/experimental.go - Tools:
docker/tools/tools.go - Documentation:
docker/docs/docs.go - Examples:
docker/examples/examples.go - Testing:
docker/test/test.go - Release:
docker/release/release.go - Build:
docker/build/build.go - Utils:
docker/utils/utils.go
Note: This categorization is intended as a general guideline. Specific files and directories may fall into multiple categories.
