What is different in dckr from Docker CLI

  Docker artifacts (containers/images) can be searched by partially entering its ID or name

  

• Shortcuts for arguments

  You can use shortcuts in dckr instead of typing full argument names (e.g. c instead of container). Check documentation for more info.

  

• Cleanup arguments

  dckr provides shortcuts to bulk cleanup of docker artifacts by running single command

  ./dckr container clean will delete all containers at one go

• Colored console output

  dckr prints colored texts in console for highlighting key information (e.g. # of items, status etc.)
