An example repo for using a Devcontainer + Python 🐳🐍.

Devcontainers help us:

• 🔄 Get a reproducible development environment
• ⚡️ Instantly onboard new team members onto your project
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Better align the environments between team members
• ⏱ Keeping your dev environment up-to-date & reproducible saves your team time going into production later

(📝 Note: Devcontainers are a relatively new concept. For now, Devcontainers are only properly supported by VSCode.)

This template demonstrates how you can build a Devcontainer with the following set up:

• Python 3.10
• Java (OpenJDK 11.0.16)
• pyspark, mypy, pytest and black

First, make sure you have the Remote Development extension installed and have Docker running.

Then, there's 2 options:

1. Click Use this template to create a new repo.

   

2. Clone the repo and open it in VSCode.

3. You should see the following notification:

   

   Press Reopen in Container and you the Devcontainer will be loaded.

That's it 🙌🏻 Enjoy developing.

Another option is to open this repo in VSCode using a special link. Press the following button:
