Create .img on Linux CLI

It's quite simple to create an image of a disk, for example an SD card, therefore use the following command:

dd if=/path/to/device of=image.img

The /path/to/device can be found out with:

lsblk

For example it can be /dev/sda. Remind that using this method will include also empty parts. An image of a 32 GB SD card will later have a size of 32 GB although for example 16 GB are unused.
