Devcontainers with Zed IDE

Zed is super fast, and it looks sharp. Its hard to go back to VScode, but theres no direct support for devcontainers (yet). You can however use Zed Tasks to get things working.

  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash

  nvm install 20

  npm install -g @devcontainers/cli
