Developer Guide¶
Developer Environment¶
Depending on your needs and preferences, you can use a pre-configured development environment with either a devcontainer or GitHub Codespaces, or opt to develop on your local machine.
Developer Containers¶
Using a pre-configured environment is the preferred approach as it comes with all the required tooling installed without changing your local environment. However, running a devcontainer requires Docker Desktop, so it may not be suitable for everyone.
To run on your machine with the cloned repo, follow official getting started and open the folder containing the repository in a container.
GitHub Codespaces provides a cloud-backed option. A Codespace can be created through GitHub in the browser or within VS Code. Both options are described in "Creating a codespace for a repository". As Codespace usage could lead to billable charges, please review GitHub documentation on codespaces for additional details.
Local Environments¶
Local development is possible on Windows, Linux and macOS.
