You can use Docker with the Dev Containers extension in a few ways:

• Docker installed locally.
• Docker installed on another machine or remote environment.
  • You only need Docker installed on the remote host, rather than Docker installed locally.
• Other Docker compliant CLIs, installed locally or in a remote environment.
  • For instance, Rancher Desktop is another way to install Docker, providing container management and Kubernetes on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Since Rancher Desktop supports Docker CLI via Moby, you can use Dev Containers extension with it. You may learn how to get started in Rancher Desktop's guide.
  • Dev Containers interacts with CLIs; it makes no assumptions about how a container engine works and does not interact with container engines or daemons directly.
  • Note that other Docker compliant CLIs are not officially supported.

When using VS Code and flake8, line width of python code is by default limited to 79 characters.

For people like me, 79 characters are not enough. How can we increase it?

• VSC Setting python.linting.flake8Args

  • add item --max-line-length=80

• Update VS Code configuration file :

  {
  "python.linting.flake8Args": [
  "--max-line-length=80"
  ]
  }

Your First Extension

In this topic, we'll teach you the fundamental concepts for building extensions. Make sure you have Node.js and Git installed, then install Yeoman and VS Code Extension Generator with:

Once you have learned the basics of Visual Studio Code Extension API in the Hello World sample, it's time to build some real-world extensions. While the Extension Capabilities section offers high-level overviews of what an extension can do, this section contains a list of detailed code guides and samples that explains how to use a specific VS Code API.

In each guide or sample, you can expect to find:

• Thoroughly commented source code.
• A gif or image showing the usage of the sample extension.
• Instructions for running the sample extension.
• Listing of VS Code API being used.
• Listing of Contribution Points being used.
• Real-world extensions resembling the sample.
• Explanation of API concepts.

Black is "the uncompromising Python code formatter." It can be configured to automatically format your code whenever you save a file in VSCode.
