Development Container Features

'Features' are self-contained units of installation code and development container configuration. Features are designed to install on top of wide range of based container images (this repository focuses on ubuntu based images).

Usages

To use a feature from this repository add the corresponding feature to a devcontainer.json. Each feature has a README.md file autogenerated from the corresponding feature's devcontainer-feature.json. The file lists the available options for the feature.

The example below installs the python-launcher Python launcher for Unix feature declared in the src folder of this repository. See the relevant feature's README.md for supported options.
