My default image for devcontainer, to be used in VS Code and GitHub Codespaces.
Image identifier: ghcr.io/aureliojargas/devcontainer:latest
This is Ubuntu 22.04 with git plus dev tools for Shell (shfmt, shellcheck) and Python (black, pylint).
There's also some extra tools that I cannot work without:

My dotfiles are inserted into the running container $HOME during the init phase, by automatically running the setup script. Note that this repository must be set in GitHub→Settings→Codespaces→Dotfiles.
My VS Code settings and extensions are synchronized into the web VS Code instance in Codespaces by using the official Settings Sync feature.
Every merge on the main branch will trigger a build and push for the Docker image into the GitHub Container Registry.
The image will always be tagged only with latest to keep everything simple.
