VS Code Dev Containers let you use a Docker container as a full development environment, keeping your local machine clean from project-specific dependencies. The setup involves a devcontainer.json file (which configures container startup, extensions, port forwarding, and lifecycle commands) and an optional Dockerfile defining the container image. After installing the Dev Containers extension and having Docker running, you can open any folder inside a container with a fully configured environment ready to go.
