Support devcontainers for git hooks

15 votes

As a VSCode user, I would like to be able to run the git hooks within the devcontainer for a repository so that I don't have to additionally configure all of the tooling on the host.

Many repositories are now configured with devcontainers which are fantastic as all of the tooling setup is taken care of. Many of these also use git hooks for linting and other code quality tasks. Unfortunately, this forces the user to either configure the tools on the host (which defeats the point of the devcontainer) or to use git cli.

Perhaps the best way to do this would be a VSCode extension to act as a proxy between GitKraken and the devcontainer?

GitKraken as a VSCode extension would be awesome. But handling the mapping and running remote operations over SSH may work for the primary use cases e.g. CodeSpaces, Gitpod, CodeServer, VPS, Containers.

Having a VS Code extension would be awesome. The built in Git functionality in VS Code is pretty basic. We've been trialling GitHub Codespaces recently and being able to get GitKraken like functionality in VS Code in the browser would be awesome.
