The [`docker buildx bake`][1] command has reached GA; this patch adds
a top-level `docker bake` command as alias for `docker buildx bake` to
improve discoverability and make it more convenient to use.
With this patch:
docker --help
Usage: docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND
A self-sufficient runtime for containers
Common Commands:
run Create and run a new container from an image
exec Execute a command in a running container
ps List containers
build Build an image from a Dockerfile
bake Build from a file
pull Download an image from a registry
push Upload an image to a registry
images List images
...
The command is hidden if buildx is not installed;
docker --help
Usage: docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND
A self-sufficient runtime for containers
Common Commands:

ps List containers

...
We can do some tweaking after this; currently it show an error
in situations where buildx is missing. We don't account for
"DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0", because this is a new feature that requires
buildx, and cannot be "disabled";
buildx missing;
docker bake

The non-reference docs have been moved!
The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.
See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.
If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine
If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release,
use the vnext-engine branch:
https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine
The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.
The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
