Description

There is a folder in this repo which is consumed in other repo's (for example, the go.d repo).
https://github.com/netdata/community/tree/main/devenv/.devcontainer
However, this appears to be kept up to date only manually.
Could we have some automation to copy, on change, from this repo to the consuming repos?
We already have config drift between the two repos mentioned.

Research direction

Start with devenv/.devcontainer in this repository and compare it with the corresponding configuration in the consuming go.d repository. Determine how changes can be detected and propagated across the repositories, including the required repository access. Done means changes to the source configuration are copied automatically and the existing configuration drift is addressed.
