Description

@vinayaksodar

What would you like to be added?

Support for running the project seamlessly in GitHub Codespaces and VS Code Dev Containers.

This would include:

  • A .devcontainer/devcontainer.json configuration file with recommended settings and extensions.
  • Preconfigured environment setup (Node.js version, dependencies, Docker, etc.).
  • Scripts or tasks to simplify onboarding (e.g., postCreateCommand)

Why is this needed?

  1. Makes it easier for new contributors to get started quickly without manually setting up the environment.
  2. Ensures a consistent development setup across local, containerized, and Codespaces environments.
  3. Reduces “works on my machine” issues.
