Installation

Download latest release

Head to the latest release page and download the archive for your platform.

Extract devcontainer from the archive and place in a folder in your PATH.

Homebrew

You can also install using homebrew with brew install stuartleeks/tap/devcontainer

Just give me a script

Or if you just don’t care and are happy to run random scripts from the internet:

export OS=linux # also darwin
export ARCH=amd64 # also 386
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stuartleeks/devcontainer-cli/main/scripts/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo -E ./install.sh

Enabling bash completion

The devcontainer completion <shell> command generates a completion script for the specified shell.

To enable bash completion, add the following to you ~/.bashrc file:

source <(devcontainer completion bash)

Or to alias devcontainer (to dc in this example):

alias dc=devcontainer
complete -F __start_devcontainer dc

The devcontainer completion <shell> command accepts bash, zsh, and powershell for the <shell> parameter.
