+# Dev container configurations
+
+This directory contains the configuration for dev containers, which is used to
+initialize the development environment in **Codespaces**, **Visual Studio
+Code**, and **JetBrains IDEs**. The environment is installed with all the
+necessary dependencies for development and is ready for linting, formatting, and
+running tests.
+
+* **GitHub Codespaces**. Create a codespace for the repo by clicking
+    the "Code" button on the main page of the repo, selecting the "Codespaces"
+    tab, and clicking the "+". The configurations will automatically be used.
+    Follow
+    [this guide](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/developing-in-a-codespace/creating-a-codespace-for-a-repository)
+    for more details.
+
+* **Visual Studio Code**. Open the root folder of the repo in VS Code. A
+    notification will pop up to open it in a dev container with the
+    configuration. Follow
+    [this guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/tutorial)
+    for more details.
+
+* **JetBrains IDEs**. Open the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` in your
+   JetBrains IDE. Click the docker icon to create a dev container.
+   Follow
+   [this guide](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/connect-to-devcontainer.html)
+   for more details.
