## Development with Dev Container and GitHub Codespaces
|
|
|
|
This repository provides a Dev Container to easily set up a development environment. Using Dev Container allows you to work in a consistent development environment with pre-configured dependencies and tools, whether locally or in the cloud with GitHub Codespaces.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
**For Local Development:**
|
|
|
|
* [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or any other compatible container runtime (e.g., Podman, OrbStack) installed.
|
|
* [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the [Remote - Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed.
|
|
|
|
**For GitHub Codespaces:**
|
|
|
|
* A GitHub account.
|
|
|
|
### Starting Dev Container
|
|
|
|
**Using Visual Studio Code (Local):**
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository.
|
|
2. Open the repository in Visual Studio Code.
|
|
3. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (`Ctrl + Shift + P` or `Cmd + Shift + P`) and execute `Dev Containers: Reopen in Container`.
|
|
|
|
**Using GitHub Codespaces (Cloud):**
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the repository on GitHub.
|
|
2. Click the "<> Code" button.
|
|
3. Select the "Codespaces" tab.
|
|
4. Click "Create codespace on main" (or your desired branch).
|
|
|
|
### Dev Container Configuration
|
|
|
|
Dev Container settings are configured in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`. In this file, you can set the Docker image to use, extensions to install, port forwarding, and more. This configuration is used both for local development and GitHub Codespaces.
|
|
|
|
### Development
|
|
|
|
Once the Dev Container is started, you can proceed with development as usual. The container already has the necessary tools and libraries installed. In GitHub Codespaces, you will have a fully configured VS Code in your browser or desktop application.
|
|
|
|
### Stopping Dev Container
|
|
|
|
**Using Visual Studio Code (Local):**
|
|
|
|
To stop the Dev Container, open the command palette in Visual Studio Code and execute `Remote: Close Remote Connection`.
|
|
|
|
**Using GitHub Codespaces (Cloud):**
|
|
|
|
GitHub Codespaces will automatically stop after a period of inactivity. You can also manually stop the codespace from the Codespaces menu in GitHub.
