DevContainer Base template for .NET Development

This repository contains a DevContainer base configuration for a .NET development environment. It provides a consistent, reproducible setup for developers working on .NET projects.

Features

• .NET SDK 6.0
• Azure CLI
• Common development utilities
• Pre-configured VS Code settings and extensions
• Zsh with Oh My Zsh
• Neovim configuration

How It Works

The DevContainer is defined by several configuration files:

1. .devcontainer/devcontainer.json: The main configuration file that specifies:

   • Base image and build instructions
   • Ports to forward
   • Features to install (including Azure CLI)
   • VS Code extensions and settings
   • Commands to run on container creation

2. .devcontainer/Dockerfile: Defines the custom Docker image based on the .NET SDK.

3. .devcontainer/on-create.sh: A script that runs when the container is created, installing additional packages and configuring git.

4. .devcontainer/post-create.sh: A script that runs after the container is created, setting up Neovim configuration.

Usage

1. Ensure you have Docker and VS Code with the Remote - Containers extension installed.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Open the repository in VS Code.
4. When prompted, click "Reopen in Container" or run the "Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container" command.
5. VS Code will build the Docker image and start the container. This may take a few minutes the first time.
6. Once the container is running, you'll have a fully configured development environment for .NET.

Customization

You can customize the DevContainer by modifying the configuration files:

• Add or remove VS Code extensions in devcontainer.json
• Modify container features or settings in devcontainer.json
• Add additional software or configuration in the Dockerfile
• Modify the setup scripts (on-create.sh and post-create.sh) to add your own initialization steps
