The two images share any layers they have in common.\n\nIf you build images from the two Dockerfiles, you can use `docker image ls` and\n`docker image history` commands to verify that the cryptographic IDs of the shared\nlayers are the same.\n\n1. Make a new directory `cow-test/` and change into it.\n\n2. Within `cow-test/`, create a new file called `hello.sh` with the following contents.\n```\n\n#!/usr/bin/env bash echo \"Hello world\"\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\n3. Copy the contents of the first Dockerfile above into a new file called\n   `Dockerfile.base`.\n\n4. Copy the contents of the second Dockerfile above into a new file called\n   `Dockerfile`.\n\n5. Within the `cow-test/` directory, build the first image. Don't forget to\n   include the final `.` in the command. That sets the `PATH`, which tells\n   Docker where to look for any files that need to be added to the image.\n```\n\n$ docker build -t acme/my-base-image:1.0 -f Dockerfile.base .
