DevContainers

DevContainers are a way to configure a consistent development environment using Docker containers. They allow developers to work in a standardized environment, regardless of the underlying OS.

• DevContainers are defined using a devcontainer.json file, which specifies the Docker image, extensions, and settings to use.
• They can be used with Visual Studio Code, allowing developers to open a project in a container with a single click.

Use cases

• Simplifying the setup process for new developers
• Standardizing development environments across different machines
• Ensuring consistency between development and production environments
• Remote development within GitHub Codespaces
