Anysphere Dev Container: Clone Repository in Container Volume

Discussions
1

Hello, I’m looking for information on Anysphere Dev Container roadmap / features, particularly the ability to “Clone Repository in Container Volume.” This feature was vital to improve performance of e.g. compiling or building code within an isolated container. It’s blockingly slow to run npm ci on larger projects =)

Back in June it was mentioned that it was in the works, but I’m not seeing it in the current version.

Is there a dedicated docs page for the plugin?

Docs from the VSC version: Developing inside a Container

Thanks!

Hi @lebolo, thank you for this feature request. We don’t have a timeline currently for adding this functionality. As a workaround in the meantime, could you use a docker compose setup with a volume, and then manually clone the repo to the volume when attached to the container?
