Using this definition

This definition builds a container with the latest version of GHCup. GHCup is then used to install the recommended (as defined by GHCup) version of GHC, cabal and stack.

You can choose a different GHC version to start with by setting the GHC_VERSION option in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json. Alternatively, you can use the ghcup command in a running container to manage GHC versions.

"build": {
    "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
    "args": {
        "GHC_VERSION": "9.2"
    }
}

Adding the definition to a project or codespace

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please see getting started information on setting up Remote-Containers or creating a codespace using GitHub Codespaces.

2. Start VS Code and open your project folder or connect to a codespace.

3. Press F1 select and Add Development Container Configuration Files... command for Remote-Containers or Codespaces.

   Note: If needed, you can drag-and-drop the .devcontainer folder from this sub-folder in a locally cloned copy of this repository into the VS Code file explorer instead of using the command.

4. Select this definition. You may also need to select Show All Definitions... for it to appear.

5. Finally, press F1 and run Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container or Codespaces: Rebuild Container to start using the definition.
