TL;DR - This document has moved to the Development Containers Specification site! This page now exists as a redirect to the specification site, which contains the latest information.

Dev container specification

As mentioned in the main Dev Containers documentation, we're creating the Development Containers Specification to empower anyone in any tool to configure a consistent dev environment.

The devcontainer.json reference is hosted on the specification site. Here you can also review the devcontainer.json schema.

You can also review the specification documents and latest proposals in the devcontainers/spec repository.

Additional resources

Create a development container has more information on configuring a dev container, or you can use the Dev Containers: Add Dev Container Configuration Files... or Codespaces: Add Dev Container Configuration Files... commands from the Command Palette (kbstyle(F1)) to add a wide variety of base configurations.

Tip: If you've already built a container and connected to it, be sure to run Dev Containers: Rebuild Container or Codespaces: Rebuild Container from the Command Palette (kbstyle(F1)) to pick up any changes you make.
