Design Considerations

devcontainers

Assuming "dev.containers.cacheVolume": true, VS Code and and the devcontainer extension uses the following flow regarding ~/.gitconfig:

1. If there is no ~/.gitconfig in the container, copy one in from the host
2. Augment ~/.gitconfig with credentials helper

In the context of dotfiles management, this means either of the following work:

• Do nothing and let VS Code copy the ~/.gitconfig from your host OS into the container by virtue of it not previously existing in the container
• Have your dotfiles process copy or create a complete ~/.gitconfig

In reality, the first option is likely the best place to start, as most or all of your ~/.gitconfig settings that apply to the host should apply to the devcontiainer.
