Volume Mount Development

Volume Mount Development is a workflow that facilitates coding and debugging within a containerized environment by synchronizing the host machine's source code with the container's file system.

Core Concept

This approach allows developers to maintain their development environment inside a container while keeping the actual code on the local host.^[vscode-devcontainer.md] This is achieved by utilizing a volume mount to map the host directory containing the program code into the running container.^[vscode-devcontainer.md] Consequently, any changes made to the source code are immediately reflected within the container without requiring a manual rebuild or copy step.
