    For my project, I honestly wish there was more work to do, but once again, Rust just made things insanely easy: Because everything I needed, including the package manager, the project manager, the code formatter, the linter are included in the Rust toolchain, all I had to do was using the Rust template image. I simply went with the default configuration, ran the containers, and everything just worked!

  • How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
    5 projects | dev.to | 30 Jan 2023
    When you start a Codespace for a project, it will try to use whatever Dev Container you have specified in your repo, else it will try to use a kitchen sink container. That default kitchen sink is can be way too much and so if you will be working with Conda environments with an Anaconda or Miniconda Dev Container template instead.
