Devcontainer

[Divelix]

Orbit is already VS Code centric, but dev experience leaves much to be desired. Recenly, I started to explore this repo and found for myself that development inside container is most reliable and repeatable option, but current setup_python_env doesn't really work for me (and seems a bit hacky even if it worked).

So my suggestion is to create devcontainer (short intro for VS Code). It seems like a perfect fit for Orbit.
Btw, it is possible to use them via docker-compose.yml too (I do so in some projects with multiple devcontainers).
What do you think about devcontainers for Isaac Orbit?

Nice to bring it up again.

We have implemented this feature, but it got sidelined because of other needs. @hhansen-bdai, we should discuss on reviving it up.

Maybe it is too late, but.

I recently started working with Isaac Lab and went to find the same answer as @Divelix . I didn't find any so I made a simple example to develop my experiments, this repo contains all the information to run an standalone IsaacLab installation.

Hope it is useful!
