Summary

The text provides a detailed tutorial on using CircleCI workflows to automate the process of building and publishing Docker images to Docker Hub. It begins by explaining how to create a basic Docker image and set up a CircleCI configuration file, which triggers the build process upon committing changes to the main branch of a GitHub repository. The tutorial highlights the use of reusable executors in CircleCI to streamline configurations and addresses challenges such as sharing Docker images across isolated jobs within a workflow using workspaces. Additionally, it explains how to automate the tagging of Docker images using Git tags and CircleCI's build number variable, providing flexibility in version control. The guide emphasizes best practices for managing Docker Hub credentials securely and outlines methods to ensure images are properly tagged and published, thereby simplifying the deployment process.
