# commit
```markdown
Usage: docker commit [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
Create a new image from a container's changes
Options:
-a, --author string Author (e.g., "John Hannibal Smith <hannibal@a-team.com>")
-c, --change value Apply Dockerfile instruction to the created image (default [])
--help Print usage
-m, --message string Commit message
-p, --pause Pause container during commit (default true)
```
It can be useful to commit a container's file changes or settings into a new
image. This allows you debug a container by running an interactive shell, or to
export a working dataset to another server. Generally, it is better to use
Dockerfiles to manage your images in a documented and maintainable way.
[Read more about valid image names and tags](tag.md).
The commit operation will not include any data contained in
volumes mounted inside the container.
By default, the container being committed and its processes will be paused
while the image is committed. This reduces the likelihood of encountering data
corruption during the process of creating the commit. If this behavior is
undesired, set the `--pause` option to false.
The `--change` option will apply `Dockerfile` instructions to the image that is
created. Supported `Dockerfile` instructions:
`CMD`|`ENTRYPOINT`|`ENV`|`EXPOSE`|`LABEL`|`ONBUILD`|`USER`|`VOLUME`|`WORKDIR`
