Personalizing GitHub Codespaces

Tried out using example personalized GitHub Codespaces today - info here - https://docs.github.com/en/github/developing-online-with-codespaces/personalizing-codespaces-for-your-account.

Easy to do:

  1. Go to the example Repo - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers
  2. Find the language-based example for you, in my case ../containers/markdown
  3. Review the DOCKERFILE and the devcontainer.json file and clone these files (you can modify them if you like)
  4. Copy the .devcontainer folder into the root of YOUR Github Repo
  5. Start a new Codespace in your repo. Verify the customizations, in my case, installation of extensions.
