Summary

Updates to the devcontainer.json definition to ensure certain extensions are installed by default when the container starts

Changes

I updated the devcontainer definition to ensure certain extensions are installed by default such as:

• "ms-vscode.vscode-node-azure-pack",
• "GitHub.copilot",
• "GitHub.vscode-github-actions",
• "GitHub.copilot-chat",
• "ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime",
• "ms-dotnettools.csdevkit",
• "ms-dotnetools.csharp"

When we get dotnet 8 update, I plan on further updating the dev container based on github template at /~https://github.com/github/dotnet-codespaces/blob/main/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

I tested the changes by updating the devcontainer.json and doing a full rebuild of the dev container so everything would be reset to the devcontainer definition.

This shows the workspace after full rebuild with extensions available. Some of extensions shown on the left sidebar were not there before the full rebuild.

FYI Command used to rebuild the full container
