Skaffold: Skipping build step if image already exists

[kwngo]

Is there a way to skip the build step in skaffold dev if the image already exists and Dockerfile hasn't changed (in my case locally)? Or is it necessary for skaffold to do its stuff.

@kwngo we're investigating ways that Skaffold can know what it's already built on successive runs to avoid rebuilding unchanged artifacts. stay tuned.

I'm going to close this one because it's implemented with --cache-artifacts=true
