# buildah-source-pull(1)

Pull a source image from a registry to a specified path

## NAME

buildah-source-pull - Pull a source image from a registry to a specified path

## SYNOPSIS

**buildah source pull** \[*options*\] *registry* *path*

## DESCRIPTION

Pull a source image from a registry to a specified path.  The pull operation will fail if the image does not comply with a source-image OCI artifact.

Note that the buildah-source command and all its subcommands are experimental and may be subject to future changes.

## OPTIONS

**--creds** *creds*

The \[username\[:password\]\] to use to authenticate with the registry if required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt will appear and the value can be entered.  The password is entered without echo.

**--quiet**, **-q**

Suppress the progress output when pulling a source image.

**--tls-verify** *bool-value*

Require HTTPS and verification of certificates when talking to container registries (defaults to true).  TLS verification cannot be used when talking to an insecure registry.
