VS Code Perl Dev Container

Introduction

This is a customized VS Code Dev container definition to provide a basic friendly environment to Perl development.

Requirements

• Dev Containers extension installed.
• Docker installed.

How to use it

If you has just cloned a repository and the project already has a empty .devcontainer folder, it's probably already using the submodule. In this case, you should run two commands to initialize you local git configuration:

git submodule init && git submodule update

If you project doesn't have a .devcontainer folder yet, add this git repository as a submodule into you Perl project using the cli below:

git submodule add [email protected]:samueldc/vscode-perl-dev-container-otrs.git .devcontainer

Then, you should click on the Dev Containers extension icon in the VS Code status bar (the same icon used for Remote Connection) and choose 'Reopen in container'.

To update the submodule from time to time, use the cli below:

git submodule update --remote .devcontainer
