About The Project

This project is a docker container running Ubuntu meant to ease the access to linux tools for macOS developers. With this tool you can build your project and run it in linux.

Make sure your makefile compiles both mac an linux.

Here's why I created this tool and why I use it:

Easy and quick access to Linux without needing a "heavy" Virtual Machine, here Linux runs on a light weight Docker container.
Easy to use, just run a shell script and your project is on linux.
Easy access to Linux-only tools like valgrind
Useful to make sure your project compiles correctly on linux

The container uses a shared volume, you can edit on MacOS and run on Linux and vice-versa

Pre installed :

curl
git
zsh && Oh-My-Zsh
vim
clang
valgrind
make
