devcontainer-build-run

devcontainer-build-run is the start of a GitHub action and Azure DevOps task aimed at making it easier to re-use a Visual Studio Code dev container in a GitHub workflow or Azure DevOps pipeline.

Status: this is a pet project that I've been experimenting with. It is not supported and you should expect bugs :-)

NOTE: Currently, the devcontainer-build-run action only supports Dockerfile-based dev containers
