    Consider the following `compose.yaml`:

    ```yaml
    services:
      db:
        image: postgres
      web:
        build: .
        command: bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'
        volumes:
          - .:/myapp
        ports:
          - "3000:3000"
        depends_on:
          - db
    ```

    If you run `docker compose pull ServiceName` in the same directory as the `compose.yaml` file that defines the service,
    Docker pulls the associated image. For example, to call the postgres image configured as the db service in our example,
    you would run `docker compose pull db`.

    ```console
    $ docker compose pull db

    `docker compose pull` tries to pull image for services with a build section. If pull fails, it lets you know this service image must be built. You can skip this by setting `--ignore-buildable` flag.
