  • vscli

    A CLI/TUI which makes it easy to launch vscode projects, with a focus on dev containers.

  • I also mentioned that I have been working on a small utility named vscli, which enables you to launch Visual Studio Code (vscode) from the command line (CLI) or a terminal user interface (TUI) like this:

  • cli

    A reference implementation for the specification that can create and configure a dev container from a devcontainer.json. (by devcontainers)

  • Well, I got the hint from this GitHub issue. Also, it seems like at one time a devcontainer open command existed in the old dev container CLI (it does not exist anymore since the CLI wants to be editor-agnostic).

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

    Development Containers: Use a container as a full-featured development environment. (by devcontainers)

  • ... is how I introduced the concept of dev containers in my last article.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

  • And it worked! We found a GitHub issue in the vscode GitHub repo, which referenced the exact file it is implemented in. Turns out this is the internal URI library of vscode!
