devcontainers-rs

For those who want to try out VSCode's devcontainers without VSCode.

This project is mostly aiming to bring the VSCode's remote development experience to neovim, but at the end others editors/clients can be attached too.

Please refer to the devcontainer.json reference

⚠️ This is in active development and rapidly growing! Use at your own risk. And feel free to play around and let me know in the issues what features you'd like to see here. ⚠️
