Envbuilder

Use Envbuilder to shift workspace environment definitions from templates into your Git repositories.

Envbuilder shifts environment definition from template administrators to developers. Instead of baking tools into template images, developers define their environments via devcontainer.json files in their repositories.

Envbuilder transforms the workspace image itself from a dev container configuration, without requiring a Docker daemon.

For setup instructions, see Envbuilder documentation.

For an alternative that uses Docker inside workspaces, see Dev Containers Integration.
