Develop in the cloud with dev containers and GitHub Codespaces

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Shows how a repo-held development environment boots reproducibly using a Dev Container JSON that installs exact SDKs, VS Code extensions and postCreate scripts, runs dependent services via Docker Compose (example: .NET 3.1 or .NET 7 app plus SQL Server container) and exposes ports with port visibility private/org/public. GitHub Codespaces runs that container in the cloud in under a minute, offers 60 free hours/month, prebuilds to avoid long setup and supports multi-repo access and VS Code or browser workflows.
