$ docker ps -a | This lists all your Docker containers. |
docker commit <container ID> cgc-images.sbgenomics.com/<username>/<repository_name>[:tag] | This takes an image (snapshot) of the container with ID <container ID>, and names the image with the format recognised by the CGC registry.You can find the container ID of an image using docker ps -a. |
