 ### B. Devcontainer
 
 As an alternative to the manual installation, the repository provides a [development container](https://containers.dev/) definition that can be used with [VS Code's Remote Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers). Use this to get a stable development environment without having to install anything locally other than VS Code and Docker.
