docker-pull
Pull an image or a repository from a registry
SYNOPSIS
docker pull [-a|--all-tags[=false]] [--help] NAME[:TAG]
DESCRIPTION
This command pulls down an image or a repository from a registry. If there is more than one image for a repository (e.g., fedora) then all images for that repository name are pulled down including any tags.
If you do not specify a REGISTRY_HOST, the command uses Docker's public registry located at registry-1.docker.io by default.
