Description
When cloning a new repository from GitHub or Azure DevOps open a new pop up message asking to create dev container based on the source code.
This functionality will:
- Detect the language of the repository based on file extensions and the structure of the project, or the readme file.
- Once the language is detected, detect the different dependencies needed to run the project. (Using requirement.txt file for python, package.json file for node, etc...)
- Create a DevContainer based on Microsoft Templates + the different dependencies and add it to the root of the repository.
- Prompt the user to reopen the project in a devcontainer
