Check Prerequisites and Limitations

You can create a new Dev Container using a devcontainer.json file and the configuration options it offers.

The easiest way to start is to pull an image (a predefined template) for your devcontainer.json file from a container registry (the collection of repositories with the predefined images).

Create a Dev Container

  1. Open a project in GoLand.

  2. In the Project view, right-click the name of your project and select New | Dev Container Config.

  3. In the dialog that opens, select the necessary template in the Dev Container Template field.

    Create a new Dev Container

  4. Click OK.

    GoLand generates the .devcontainer directory with the devcontainer.json file that contains the container description. You can customize the configuration as needed.
