Automate the creation and management of development containers.

contain makes it easy to create and share reusable container images that provide a consistent, yet familiar, development environment.

contain was inspired by Python's virtualenv package. Like virtualenv, contain separates project dependencies from packages installed on the development machine but additionally separates your project's operating system dependencies to guarantee that all developers are using a consistent set of dependencies.

Unlike with traditional container-based approaches, contain creates an additional layer to make the use of the development container more seamless. contain tries to be as invisible to the user as possible, by using the same shell, development tools, and configuration already defined by the user. contain should never feel like it hinders or slows the development process.

Installation

Currently, the easiest method is to install it using pip:

$ pip3 install contain

In the future, there will be operating system packages to simplify the installation of contain.

Basic Usage

$ cd path/to/project
$ contain
