Overview

This feature installs the GitKraken CLI and GitLens VS Code extension for enhanced git operations in your devcontainer.

The GitKraken feature automatically includes the git feature as a dependency, so you get all git configuration capabilities plus GitKraken-specific tools.

Note: While the git feature is automatically installed via dependsOn, you must explicitly include it in your devcontainer.json if you want to configure git-specific options (like userName or userEmail). The dependsOn relationship only ensures the git feature is installed—it does not pass options between features.

Usage

Add this feature to your devcontainer configuration:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/duplocloud/devcontainers/gitkraken:1": {}
  }
}

Version Configuration

Specify a specific GitKraken CLI version:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/duplocloud/devcontainers/gitkraken:1": {
      "version": "3.1.51"
    }
  }
}

To configure git options, explicitly include the git feature:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/duplocloud/devcontainers/gitkraken:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/duplocloud/devcontainers/git:1": {
      "userName": "Your Name",
      "userEmail": "you@example.com"
    }
  }
}

To use a specific GitKraken CLI version:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/duplocloud/devcontainers/gitkraken:1": {
      "version": "3.2.0"
    }
  }
}
