Finch: An open-source client for container development

Offhand, the biggest difference I'm aware of is the "--platform" argument to "finch run"; with colima (and presumably lima under it) one must specify that at vm creation time not per container

    $ ./_output/bin/finch run --platform amd64 --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env redis:7-alpine uname -m
    x86_64
    $ ./_output/bin/finch run --platform arm64 --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env redis:7-alpine uname -m
    aarch64
    $ uname -m
    x86_64
    $ ./_output/bin/finch images
    REPOSITORY            TAG         IMAGE ID        CREATED           PLATFORM          SIZE        BLOB SIZE
    redis                 7-alpine    2700d5097763    31 seconds ago    linux/amd64       30.8 MiB    11.3 MiB

Multiarch works fine for me with colima and Docker CLI:

    $ limactl shell colima uname -a
    Linux colima 5.15.68-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:29:31 +0000 aarch64 Linux
    $ docker run --rm --platform=linux/arm64 busybox uname -a
    Linux d9daf296b930 5.15.68-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:29:31 +0000 aarch64 GNU/Linux
    $ docker run --rm --platform=linux/amd64 busybox uname -a
    Linux 34805057ef02 5.15.68-0-virt #1-Alpine SMP Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:29:31 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Haven't tried with containerd/nerdctl but I think it should work just fine too.
