I stated using devcontainers through VSCode and find them incredibly helpful. It’s great for me to be able to load up exact coding environments on different computers. But, I only used them through VSCode.
When I wanted to branch out a bit (and especially using coding agents), I started using the CLI version more. I find devcontainers a great way to work with different coding projects and wanted to make sure people knew that there was a way to use them outside of VSCode.
