To use these features, add them to your .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file:

    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {

Contributing

Each feature is located in the src/ directory with the following structure:

• devcontainer-feature.json - Feature metadata and configurable options
• install.sh - Installation script
• README.md - Auto-generated documentation

To add a new feature, create a new directory under src/ with these files. The CI/CD workflow will automatically publish the feature and generate documentation when pushed to the main branch.
