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.
Currently, the easiest method is to install it using pip:
$ pip3 install containIn the future, there will be operating system packages to simplify the
installation of contain.
$ cd path/to/project
$ contain
