How can I set up a multi-stage Docker build in Travis CI?

To set up a multi-stage Docker build in Travis CI, you need to define your stages in the Dockerfile and configure your .travis.yml file accordingly.

Can you give me an example of a .travis.yml file for that?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

language: generic
services:
  - docker

script:
  - docker build -t myapp:latest .
  - docker build --target production -t myapp:production .

What are the benefits of using multi-stage builds?

Multi-stage builds help reduce the final image size, improve build times, and keep your images clean by separating build dependencies from runtime dependencies.

Are there any specific Travis CI settings I should be aware of?

Yes, ensure that your Travis CI environment supports Docker and that you have the necessary permissions to build and push images.
