_Please be aware `skopeo` is still work in progress_
`skopeo` is a command line utility which is able to _inspect_ an image from a remote Docker registry.
By _inspect_ I mean it just fetches the image's manifest and it is able to show you a `docker inspect`-like
json output. This tool, in constrast to `docker inspect`, helps you gather useful information about
an image before pulling it (and use disk space) - e.g. - which tags are available for the given image? which labels the image has?

TODO
-
- provide a glossary (e.g. repository, image, layers, manifest, etc)
- show repo tags via flag or when reference isn't tagged or digested
- add tests (integration with deployed registries in container - Docker-like)
- get rid of Docker (meaning make this work w/o needing Docker installed)
