Push image based on a base image:

crane append {{[-b|--base]}} {{image_name}}

Push image with appended layer from tarball:

crane append {{[-f|--new_layer]}} {{layer_name1 layer_name2 ...}}

Push image with appended layer with new tag:

crane append {{[-t|--new_tag]}} {{tag_name}}

Push resulting image to new tarball:

crane append {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/tarball}}

Use empty base image of type OCI media instead of Docker:

crane append --oci-empty-base

Annotate resulting image as being based on the base image:

crane append --set-base-image-annotations
