Provide Base Devcontainer.json Inheritance #11421

@simonkurtz-MSFT

Description

@simonkurtz-MSFT

Devcontainers are wonderful. They empower Codespaces to work so seamlessly. But when multiple configurations exist, so does redundancy. An example of this can be seen in the APIM Samples repo.

  • Please consider adding support for devcontainer.base.json.
  • The devcontainer.json files should then be able to use extends or similar.
  • The .base.json format should indicate that this is not an executable definition (relevant for extensions & GitHub UI)
