Learn how to build Docker images from only committed code in a Git repository using Git worktrees instead of stashing. The technique creates a temporary worktree directory containing the committed code, builds the Docker image from that location, and then cleans up the worktree. This approach avoids the risks of accidentally overwriting stashed changes while ensuring deployments only include committed code.
