Create

+++ title="Create" weight=6 +++

The creator runs analyze, detect, restore, build, and export in a single command.

<!--more-->

The platform must execute creator in the build environment. An image reference (i.e., <previous-image>) to be analyzed is one of the creator's inputs.

• If <skip-restore> is true the creator shall skip the restoration of any data to each buildpack's layers directory, with the exception of store.toml.
• If the platform provides one or more <tag> inputs they shall be treated as additional <image> inputs to the exporter
