+Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to

+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.
