+# Development Environment
+
+To facilitate development on different systems a [dev container](https://containers.dev/) has been added. This should seamlessly enable development for users of [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) on systems with docker installed.
+
+For contributing guidelines please look here [link](../CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+### Known issues:
+
+- `git config --global --add safe.directory \`pwd\` ` might be needed inside the container.
