So this reinvents devcontainers? https://containers.dev https://containers.dev Why should we use yours? What does it do better or differently?

  While this is true, this project seems to wrap it up in a CLI package for starting and stopping projects. Whereas starting devcontainers, at least as far as I have seen, is always done via VSCode or IDE, so while it technically could be called CLI too, would be a lot more complicated than this project.

    The devcontainers cli has existed for a while. Definitely not as smooth as using with vscode but it has all the main points. https://github.com/devcontainers/cli https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

      TIL. I'm not proponent of installing nodejs apps globally, npm install -g or yarn install -g

    There is also a CLI for dev containers. I use it for unattended builds.
