Repo and Feature Structure

Similar to the devcontainers/features repo, this repository has a src folder. Each Feature has its own sub-folder, containing at least a devcontainer-feature.json and an entrypoint script install.sh.

├── src

An implementing tool will composite the documented dev container properties from the feature's devcontainer-feature.json file, and execute in the install.sh entrypoint script in the container during build time. Implementing tools are also free to process attributes under the customizations property as desired.
