  • How to work with Monorepos in a dev container - YouTube #YouTube #Monorepo DevContainer
    • this is based on the assumption that you want to open up each repo individually
      • which isn't always the case
    • some comments say that git can't be used in this case

      • But now you can't use git inside your devcontainer, which is a bit of a dealbreaker. 🙁 Any way to have the best of both worlds?

      • Monorepos in a Dev Container

        • The configuration sets up a Dev Container for working with a monorepo in VSCode.
        • Key settings:
          • "remoteUser": "node" → Runs the container as the node user instead of root.
          • "workspaceMount": "source=${localWorkspaceFolder},target=/workspace,type=bind" → Binds the local workspace folder to /workspace inside the container.
          • "workspaceFolder": "/workspace" → Sets the workspace folder inside the container.
        • This setup ensures that:
          • The workspace is correctly mounted inside the container.
          • The correct user permissions are applied.
          • It supports working with multiple repositories in a shared development environment.
