CLI Tool for DevContainer

Purpose

This CLI Tool aims to make it easier to use devcontainer for web development.

Documentation

The documentation can be found under WebDev Documentation.

Installation via installer script

sudo bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Derroylo/webdev-tool/main/install_webdev.sh)

Manual installation in Linux or WSL2

Add the microsoft repository as the official ubuntu package manager doesn´t contain the dotnet runtime in version 9

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update

Install the dotnet runtime

sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-runtime-9.0

Download the latest release of this tool

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Derroylo/webdev-tool/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url.*zip" | cut -d : -f 2,3 | tr -d \" | wget -qi -

Unzip the downloaded file, create a folder in your home directory and add a symlink to the bin folder

mkdir ~/webdev
unzip webdev-tool.zip -d ~/webdev/
rm webdev-tool.zip
chmod +x $HOME/webdev/webdev.sh
sudo ln -s $HOME/webdev/webdev.sh /usr/local/bin/webdev

On some system configurations the folder /usr/local/bin doesn´t exists, so we need to create it to follow linux best practices.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin

If everything worked, then you should be able to use the webdev command in the terminal.
