Extend list of dev containers #1633

Closed RobertoDonPedro closed 1 year ago

RobertoDonPedro commented 1 year ago

Is it possible to extend the list shown in "Add Development Container Definition Files.." with a custom dev container not listed vscode-dev-containers repository? I have a custom .devcontainer.json yet, however this appears to be tied to the project in which it is located only, but not generally available in the container list. Thx

The mechanism to do this is currently being worked on. You can see more at https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/issues/71 and the proposal docs at:

I'll close this as a dupe of https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/issues/71 since this is where discussions are happening on the topic.
