simplify code contributions + reviews by fully automating the setup

[nisarhassan12]

Hi! :slightly_smiling_face:

This Pr simplifies code contributions and reviews by fully automating the dev setup with Gitpod(a free online VS Code like IDE). With a single click, it'll launch a workspace and automatically:

• clone the zdog repo.
• install the dependencies.

So that anyone interested in contributing can start straight away without any friction.

this is how it looks:

You can give it a try on my fork of the repo via the following link:

https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/nisarhassan12/zdog

Many popular OSS projects out there are already using Gitpod to streamline the experience for their contributors and maintainers, some of them are:

• https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp
• https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus
• https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/

You can find a brief list of them at https://contribute.dev

Prs can also be reviewed from within Gitpod.

Thanks for this contribution.

Add a 👍 reaction to this issue if you would like to see Zdog support GitPod. Do not add +1 comments — They will be deleted.

Personally, I'm not familiar with Gitpod, so I can't speak to its value to the community.
