Building a GitHub Codespace Configuration for Polyglot Notebooks

Matt Eland makes some recommendations:

In order to get Polyglot Notebooks to work with GitHub Codespaces, you’ll need to match the current requirements of the Polyglot Notebooks extension and its underlying .NET Interactive kernels.

This relies on two files in your .devcontainer directory:

• Dockerfile which describes the Docker container the Codespace will run in
• devcontainer.json which describes how the dev container is configured in terms of extensions and ports
