Tech stack & purpose

The template-starter repository provides a starting point and example for authoring custom Dev Container Templates, which are packages that encode configuration for complete development environments. The project demonstrates the Dev Container Template distribution specification by hosting two example templates—"hello" and "color"—that can be published for free on GitHub Container Registry and discovered by supporting tools like VS Code Dev Containers and GitHub Codespaces. The repository includes GitHub Action workflows for testing and publishing templates, along with guidance on versioning templates according to semver, making them publicly available, and adding them to the public index at containers.dev.
