Devcontainers

Resources

• Development Containers
• VS Code: Developing Inside a Devcontainer
• VS Code: Personalizing Devcontainers with Dotfiles

Demo:

1. Ensure the following are in your settings.json (dotfiles.targetPath and dotfiles.installCommand are unchanged from defaults):

   {
     "dotfiles.repository": "your-github-id/your-dotfiles-repo",
     "dotfiles.targetPath": "~/dotfiles",
     "dotfiles.installCommand": "install.sh"
   }

2. Install the Dev Containers (or I'd recommend the Remote Development extension pack
3. Open a repo with a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json, open the command palate and run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container

Codespaces

Resources:

• Codespaces
• Personalizing your Codespaces

Demo:

1. Configure the Github Codespaces settings:
   1. Configure your Dotfiles repo
   2. Add secrets:
      1. AWS secrets (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
      2. GitHub Package Registry PAT (you'll want to configure npm in your dotfiles install script)
   3. Enable settings sync
   4. Set Visual Studio Code as preferred editor
2. Navigate to a repo on GitHub with a devcontainer configured (e.g. this VideoConductor branch)
3. Code -> Codespaces tab -> "Create codespace on <branch>"
