My team are using Visual Studio Code devcontainers in a repo that we all use. devcontainers is a great way to provide a consistent development environment however there are still nuanced differences that different team members want to make when using devcontainers. In my case I would like to install some utilities (e.g. rich, jless) but I don't want to bloat the container image for everyone (in fact I raised a PR to add one of these tools to the container image Dockerfile and it got rejected). Similarly I'd like to create some aliases that I commonly use and I know I can do so by using postCreateCommand in devcontainer.json however, again, I don't want to bloat devcontainer.json with stuff that only I use.
I've read the documentation on devcontainers, specifically on devcontainer.json, and I couldn't find a way of making changes to the container that only affect the container for myself.
Does anyone know a way that I can install tools and create aliases in the container that will only be done for myself? Speaking more generally, is there a way to make changes to the devcontainer that only apply to me, not anyone else?
