A OCaml template on Gitpod

This is a OCaml template configured for ephemeral development environments on Gitpod. It provides the development tools recommneded in the offical OCaml documentation: Up and Running with OCaml: It uses Dune as the build system, ocaml-lsp to provide code-completion etc, and ocamlformat to automatically format your code whenever you save files.

Before you can build and run the helloworld program you need to be in the right directory and have the opam environment configured; in Gitpod this is already done for you.

eval $(opam env)

To build and run the helloworld program, run the following:

dune build
dune exec helloworld
