This is a scaffolding project to create a new devcontainer environment for a Python application in VS Code

Purpose

This project provides a pre-configured development environment (DevContainer) for Python applications in Visual Studio Code.

Assumptions:

• You're using Windows with WSL 2.
• You'll need VS Code with the Dev Containers extension installed.
• You'll use Python's pyproject.toml for package management.
• You'll leverage Azure Pipelinesfor CI/CD

Getting started

To get started:

1. Make sure you have the Dev Containers extension in VS Code installed.

2. Clone this repo

   git clone https://dev.azure.com/riskatwork/Scaffolding/_git/PythonDevcontainer
   

3. Customize settings:

   • Rename ```src/app``: Change the directory name ot match your projects name. Also update:

   • Update the pyproject.toml: Modify the name and packages fields to reflect your project's details. NOTE: the name of the workspaceFolder in the devcontainer.json and the application directory in the DockerFile should not be changed.

   • Adjust dependencies: Update your pyproject.toml with the dependencies you need.

4. Review project files:

   • Configure CI/CD: Update or replcate the existing azure pipeline to suit your requirements
   • Update the README.md
   • Examine the .dockerignore and .gitignore files to ensure they're appropriate for you
