 Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).

 You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
-Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!

 * Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.

The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged.

+## Devcontainer
+
+Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
+create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
+to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.

+  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
+- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
+  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
+  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
+- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
+  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
+  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
+- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
+  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
+  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
+  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
+  before quitting it.
