Mutagen Compose
Mutagen Compose is a (minimally) modified version of Docker Compose that offers automated integration with Mutagen. This allows you to synchronize files and forward network traffic between your local system and your Compose services. While this is primarily designed for using Compose to develop on a remote and/or cloud-based Docker engine, it can also be used with Docker Desktop to provide a high-performance alternative to the virtual filesystems used in Docker Desktop bind mounts.
Usage
Check out the Mutagen Compose documentation for usage information.
