Development Environment Setup for GNU Project (Windows/Mac/Linux)

Contributing to an open-source project is a great way to learn new skills, build portfolio, and give back to the developer community. I will demonstrate how to setup developer environment to get you started contributing to the GNU project. By dev environment, I mean minimal setup to build, execute, and debug the project. This should work on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Requirement:
Docker and VSCode

Preconfigured Dockerfile and VSCode configs:

Commands:
docker build -t gnu_dev .
docker run -it --name gnu_dev gnu_dev
find . -name grep -type f
docker container ls --all
docker start -i gnu_dev
