When deploying an app via `git:load-image`, it is highly recommended to use a unique image tag when building the image. Not doing so will result in Dokku exiting `0` early as there will be no changes detected. If the image tag is reused but the underlying image is different, it is recommended to use the image digest instead of the tag. This can be retrieved via the following command:
