Julia DevContainer Template

Develop Julia applications inside VSCode containers (locally or remotely).

Why? Preinstalled development environment (runs on optimized linux from official Julia docker image: https://hub.docker.com/_/julia)

Local development: Same configuration works everywhere (good for collaboration and deployments).

Remote development: Use a powerful machine remotely (up to 32 cores), usage-based payments, and develop from a lightweight workstation: https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/customizing-your-codespace/changing-the-machine-type-for-your-codespace
