My Favorite Way To Handle Dev Environments | VS Code Devcontainers

A step-by-step walkthrough of using my favorite method to manage development environments: VS Code Devcontainers.

No docker commands required!

This is great for onboarding new people to your complex project or reproducing your work environment on a new machine. You can even use your devcontainers on the web through GitHub Codespaces.

Let me know what you think in the comments. I spend several minutes talking at the beginning, so we don't move from the first screen for a while. 😅
