Development Containers (dev containers) are an open specification for enriching containers with development-specific content and settings, enabling a container to function as a full-featured development environment. They let you run applications and isolate tools, libraries, or runtimes needed for a codebase, supporting local or remote execution in clouds and across diverse editors and tools. The site provides reference implementations, schemas, supporting tools, guides, features, templates, and collections to share and reuse dev container setups across tech stacks.
