Usage

To use the features from this repository, add the desired features to devcontainer.json.

These examples show how to use features from this repository in a devcontainer:

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/ag:1": {},
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/amazon-q-cli:1": {},
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/aws-sam-cli:1": {},
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/gcloud-cli:1": {},
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/zip:1": {}
    }
}

Or use individual features:

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/jajera/features/gcloud-cli:1": {}
    }
}

An implementing tool will composite the documented dev container properties from the feature's devcontainer-feature.json file, and execute in the install.sh entrypoint script in the container during build time. Implementing tools are also free to process attributes under the customizations property as desired.
