Containers for GitHub Codespaces

Tried out using custom containers as a basis for GitHub Codespaces using the Java example from Microsoft - list.

Create and populate a .devcontainers folder at my Repo root with (modified) example DOCKERFILE, devcontainer.json and supporting script files and away we go.

Custom Codespace being created

Using the Java Codespace (includes Maven & Gradle by default)

The supporting .devcontainers.json file

Easy-peasy. Also learned that if I don't own the repo on which I am creating a custom Codespace, then when initially creating a Codespace Github will automatically create a repo fork.
