+## ko test
+
+Build and publish container images with go test from the given importpaths.
+
+### Synopsis
+
+This sub-command builds the provided import paths into Go test binaries, containerizes them, and publishes them.
+
+```
+ko test IMPORTPATH... [flags]
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```
+
+  # Build and publish tests from import path references to a Docker Registry as:
+  #   ${KO_DOCKER_REPO}/<package name>-<hash of import path>
+  # When KO_DOCKER_REPO is ko.local, it is the same as if --local and
+  # --preserve-import-paths were passed.
+  # If the import path is not provided, the current working directory is the
+  # default.
+  ko test github.com/foo/bar/cmd/baz github.com/foo/bar/cmd/blah
+
+  # Build and publish tests from a relative import path as:
+  #   ${KO_DOCKER_REPO}/<package name>-<hash of import path>
+  # When KO_DOCKER_REPO is ko.local, it is the same as if --local and
+  # --preserve-import-paths were passed.
+  ko test ./cmd/blah
+
+  # Build and publish tests from a relative import path as:
+  #   ${KO_DOCKER_REPO}/<import path>
+  # When KO_DOCKER_REPO is ko.local, it is the same as if --local was passed.
+  ko test --preserve-import-paths ./cmd/blah
+
+  # Build and publish tests from import path references to a Docker daemon as:
+  #   ko.local/<import path>
+  # This always preserves import paths.
+  ko test --local github.com/foo/bar/cmd/baz github.com/foo/bar/cmd/blah
+```
+
+### Options
+
+```
+      --bare                     Whether to just use KO_DOCKER_REPO without additional context (may not work properly with --tags).
+  -B, --base-import-paths        Whether to use the base path without MD5 hash after KO_DOCKER_REPO (may not work properly with --tags).
+      --debug                    Include Delve debugger into image and wrap around ko-app. This debugger will listen to port 40000.
+      --disable-optimizations    Disable optimizations when building Go code. Useful when you want to interactively debug the created container.
+  -h, --help                     help for test
+      --image-label strings      Which labels (key=value) to add to the image.
+      --image-refs string        Path to file where a list of the published image references will be written.
+      --insecure-registry        Whether to skip TLS verification on the registry
+  -j, --jobs int                 The maximum number of concurrent builds (default GOMAXPROCS)
+  -L, --local                    Load into images to local docker daemon.
+      --oci-layout-path string   Path to save the OCI image layout of the built images
+      --platform strings         Which platform to use when pulling a multi-platform base. Format: all | <os>[/<arch>[/<variant>]][,platform]*
+  -P, --preserve-import-paths    Whether to preserve the full import path after KO_DOCKER_REPO.
+      --push                     Push images to KO_DOCKER_REPO (default true)
+      --sbom string              The SBOM media type to use (none will disable SBOM synthesis and upload). (default "spdx")
+      --sbom-dir string          Path to file where the SBOM will be written.
+      --tag-only                 Include tags but not digests in resolved image references. Useful when digests are not preserved when images are repopulated.
+  -t, --tags strings             Which tags to use for the produced image instead of the default 'latest' tag (may not work properly with --base-import-paths or --bare). (default [latest])
+      --tarball string           File to save images tarballs
+```
+
+### Options inherited from parent commands
+
+```
+  -v, --verbose   Enable debug logs
+```
