Build with Docker GitHub Builder — Build and push an image
The following workflow builds from the repository Dockerfile, pushes on branch and tag events, and uses metadata inputs to generate tags Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```yaml name: ci on: push: branches: - "main" tags: - "v*" pull_request: permissions: contents:

When you set output: image, meta-images is required because the workflow creates image names and manifest tags from that input. distribute: true is the default, so a multi-platform build can fan out across native GitHub-hosted runners instead of forcing the whole build onto one machine. The default runner mapping sends Linux Arm platforms to ubuntu-24.04-arm and uses ubuntu-24.04 for other platforms. To change that mapping, see runner selection. sign: auto is also the default, which means the workflow signs attestation manifests when the image is pushed.
