Check Image Tags in Manifests

You need to confirm which container image tags are present in deployment manifests.

Command

grep -RhoE 'image:[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]+' deploy/ | sort -u

What changed

Nothing changes. Matching image lines are printed.

When to use it

Use before or after a deploy to confirm expected image references.

When not to use it

Do not rely on it if manifests are templated and the rendered output is the real source of truth.

Undo or recovery

No undo needed because this command is read-only.

Expected output

Unique image references such as image: registry.example/app:v1.2.3.
