 <summary><b>Option 2: Dev Container Setup (For VS Code Users)</b></summary>
 
 This option uses VS Code's Dev Containers feature to provide a fully configured development environment with all dependencies pre-installed. It's great for ensuring everyone on the team has the same setup.
 
 1. **Prerequisites**
+
    - [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
    - [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or compatible editor
    - [Dev Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)
 
 2. **Open in Dev Container**
+
    - Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/Mail-0/Zero.git`
    - Open the folder in VS Code
    - When prompted, click "Reopen in Container" or run the "Dev Containers: Open Folder in Container" command
    - VS Code will build and start the dev container (this may take a few minutes the first time)
 
 3. **Access the App**
+
    - The app will be available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
 
 4. **Troubleshooting**
    - If you encounter issues with the container, try rebuilding it using the "Dev Containers: Rebuild Container" command
    - For dependency issues inside the container:
-     ```bash
-     rm -rf node_modules
-     rm bun.lockb
-     bun install
