VSCode Dev Containers

Instructions

This repository contains dedicated scripts to automate the management of Dev Container for Visual Studio Code.

These dev containers are specifically designed to provide a consistent and reproducible development environment. Here is an overview of the available containers:

• C
• DevOps
• Go
• Java
• Node.js
• Python
• Rust
• Rust embedded
• Texlive

All of the containers are based on a common base image, which is a pre-configured Fedora Linux distribution.

To use this repository, follow these steps:

1. Run the vscode-sync-config-files script to pull the necessary configuration files from your system.
2. Build the desired dev container using the vscode-sync-dev-images -v VARIANT command where VARIANT is the name of the container you want to build.
3. Create the .devcontainer folder inside your project using the vscode-sync-dev-images -v VARIANT command. Warning: this command must be called from the root of your project.
4. Install the VSCode Dev Containers extension and open the folder of your project with VSCode. A popup should open asking you to reopen the folder in a container.

CI / CD

The CI/CD pipeline is configured using GitHub Actions. The workflow is defined in the .github/workflows folder:
