+#### **--build-context**=*name=value*
+
+Specify an additional build context using its short name and its location.
+Additional build contexts can be referenced in the same manner as we access
+different stages in COPY instruction.
+
+Valid values could be:
+
+* Local directory – e.g. --build-context project2=../path/to/project2/src
+* HTTP URL to a tarball – e.g. --build-context src=https://example.org/releases/src.tar
+* Container image – specified with a container-image:// prefix, e.g. --build-context alpine=container-image://alpine:3.15, (also accepts docker://, docker-image://)
+
+On the Containerfile side, you can reference the build context on all
+commands that accept the “from” parameter. Here’s how that might look:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM [name]
+COPY --from=[name] ...
+RUN --mount=from=[name] …
+```
+
+The value of [name] is matched with the following priority order:
+
+* Named build context defined with --build-context [name]=..
+* Stage defined with AS [name] inside Containerfile
+* Image [name], either local or in a remote registry
