## Overview

This is a minimal, language-agnostic [DevContainer](https://containers.dev/) setup designed for fast startup and easy extension. It provides a Docker-based development environment configured for use with Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers.

## Features

- Based on the official `mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:debian` image

- Non-root `vscode` user for safe, consistent dev workflows

- Lightweight: includes only essential tools (git, curl, bash)

- VS Code Docker extension pre-installed

- Clean starting point for building language-specific environments

   ```bash

   git clone git@github.com:jonmatum/devcontainer-minimal-template.git

   ```

2. Open the folder in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/):

   - You will be prompted to reopen the folder in a Dev Container

3. Customize the Dockerfile and `devcontainer.json` for your stack
