Description

Right now it seems the only way to start a dev container is to have cloned a repository and then pass the `--workspacefolder` to each invocation of `devcontainer`.

Would it be possible to add a feature that clones a repository in a Docker volume or uses an existing repository that was cloned in a Docker volume to run `devcontainer` commands on?
