Docker command cheatsheet

The reason for creating this cheat sheet is because a long time ago I was called for an interview and he asked me some basic command questions regarding docker and in reply, I said "I forget the actual command 😑" yeah you read it right I know it sounds not good so for the next time I make sure this won't happen again in my life that is why I wrote down below some basic commands that every docker user should know. Hope this cheat sheet is also helpfully for you.😀
