Description

Currently the editors are creating their own .gitignore files to capture devcontainer-lock.json. It's been suggested that this file could be listed in a system-wide .gitignore. Could this be added to the container configuration?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the base-devcontainer configuration and how the image sets system-wide development settings. Check how devcontainer-lock.json is handled and confirm the appropriate ignore configuration location. Done means the base container provides a system-wide ignore entry so editors no longer need to create their own .gitignore files.
