Devcontainers
Devcontainers are a feature of Visual Studio Code that enables developers to develop in a containerized environment. Here are the steps to get started with Devcontainers:
- Install Visual Studio Code
- Install the Remote Development extension
- Open a project in Visual Studio Code
- Click on the green "><" icon in the bottom left corner of the window
- Select "Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container"
- Wait for the container to build and start
- Develop as usual within the container
Devcontainers are useful because they enable developers to work in an isolated environment with all the necessary tools and dependencies pre-installed. This can be especially helpful when working with complex applications or in a team setting.
