Welcome, Gopher! This repository is a template for you to use in your next (or existing) Go project so you can take advantage of Visual Studio Codespaces, or the brand-new GitHub Codespaces.

The easiest way to get started is on a new repository. For that, simply click on the green "Use this template" button, right above the list of files.

After you do, a list of options for creating a new repository will pop up. After you're done, a brand new repository will be created for you, wherever you told it to. And it'll be pre-populated with everything you need to be up and running with Codespaces.

TODO

This template sets up Go entirely inside a Docker image. To test it, make sure you have Docker installed and run the below command from the root of this repository:

$ cd .devcontainer
$ docker build .
$ cd ..

When you run the command, make sure to remove the leading $

Like almost every developer who contributes to open source, I didn't write this code in a vacuum. I had help! Thank you to the following contributors for helping me build this:

• bnb for code from codespaces-examples/node
• asw101 for code from asw101/hello-vso

I took inspiration, and sometimes code, from their repositories.

I took code and ideas directly from these developers' repositories. There are countless other projects and technologies that this repository implicitly relies on, and the list of contributors behind those projects is too long to write here. Thank you to every one of those contributors.
