I would like to use VSCode devcontainers with Git worktrees. I'm following these instructions to get a directory layout where all branches I'm working on are side-by-side. It results in something like the following:
my-repo:
.
├── .bare
├── .git
├── main
└── feat-pytest-helpers
I can open the my-repo folder in VSCode and it will recognize the various worktrees right off the bat. Each of the branch folders has their own .devcontainer subfolder. However, VSCode won't offer to reopen in a devcontainer when I select a specific branch folder and I can see no way to "force" it to do so. The instructions here look relevant, but I think that then I won't be able to see the different different folders (branches) in the Explorer menu anymore.
In summary:
- I would like to be able to open the
my-repofolder with VSCode, so that I can see the subfolders and switch between them in the Explorer menu. - Trigger a rebuild&reopen in devcontainer whenever I switch between subfolders.
Is this at all possible? If not, are you aware of any workarounds?
