  Description     : Helps with organizing docker images layers

Docker creates many layers while building the image. Sometimes it's not
necessary or desireable to have them in the image. For example a
Dockerfile ADD instruction creates a single layer with files you want to
make available in the image. Docker will carry this layer always with the image,
even if you delete these files in next layer. 
.
Squashing helps with organizing images in logical layers. Instead of
having an image with multiple (sometimes) unnecessary layers.
.
Docker-squash can
.
  * squash last n layers from an image
  * squash from a selected layer to the end (not always possible, depends on the image)
  * support for Docker 1.9 or newer (older releases may run perfectly fine too, try it!)
  * the image can be loaded back to the Docker daemon or stored as tar archive somewhere
