     Copy

     Or use the built binary⁠

   • Or manually: download this repository and put the .devcontainer⁠ directory in your project.

2. If you have a .vscode/settings.json, eventually move the settings to .devcontainer/devcontainer.json in the "settings" section as .vscode/settings.json take precedence over the settings defined in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json.
