Setup for a project

1. Setup your configuration files

   • With style 💯

     docker run -it --rm -v "/yourrepopath:/repository" kbuley/devtainr:v0.2.0 -dev go -path /repository -name projectname

     Or use the built binary

   • Or manually: download this repository and put the .devcontainer directory in your project.

2. If you have a .vscode/settings.json, eventually move the settings to .devcontainer/devcontainer.json in the "settings" section as .vscode/settings.json take precedence over the settings defined in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json.

3. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (CTRL+SHIFT+P) and select Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... and choose your project directory
