Dab is a simplistic set of conventions for managing container image tags as
related to git repositories. It aims at providing immediate and intuitive answers
as to what builds are available at a simple look at the git graph.
Dab's simplicity aims at setting it as a reasonable default.
Your team/project is likely to outgrow it. But it doesn't have to. You do you.
It's this:
