Try Out Development Containers: Swift
This is a sample project that lets you try out the VS Code Remote - Containers extension in a few easy steps.
Note: If you're following the quick start, you can jump to the Things to try section.
Setting up the development container
Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:
-
If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the getting started steps.
-
Linux users: Update
USER_UID
andUSER_GID
in.devcontainer/Dockerfile
with your user UID/GID if not 1000 to avoid creating files as root. -
If you're not yet in a development container:
- Clone this repository.
- Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
- Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!
Things to try
Once you have this sample opened in a container, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.
Note: This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out
"-u", "vscode"
in.devcontainer/devcontainer.json
if you'd prefer to run as root.
