Description
I would like to have an available action when the dev container extension is installed to "Export a dev container to WSL".
This would take an existing dev container that I have on my machine and export it to become a WSL distribution for me. I created a small prototype that you can see here:
This would allow users to easily run dev containers offline, WSL users to easily set up a distro, and expand the functionality of dev containers at a pretty low cost.
The (Very early and proof of concept) code for the prototype can be found here: https://github.com/craigloewen-msft/WSLDevContainerConverter.git
