A streamlined Docker-based development environment for learning Rust through Rustlings exercises. This setup eliminates the hassle of manual tooling installation and configuration, providing you with a pre-configured environment that's ready to go.

✨ Features

• Zero Local Installation: No need to install Rust, IDE, or Rustlings locally
• Pre-configured LazyVim: Optimized for Rust development with essential plugins
• GitHub Copilot Integration: AI assistance built-in with both Copilot and Copilot Chat
• Tmux-based Workspace: Split screen setup with editor and Rustlings side by side
• Reproducible Environment: Consistent setup across different machines
