What is the difference between the COPY and ADD commands in a Dockerfile, and when would I use one over the other? COPY <src> <dest> The COPY instruction will copy new files from <src> and add them to the container's filesystem at path <dest> ADD <src> <dest> The ADD instruction will copy new files from <src> and add them to the container's filesystem at path <dest>.
