tmux-devcontainers was built to support my personal development environment. It works for my style of development, and my personal projects which are mostly based around docker-compose configuration. I'm sure there are other Docker configurations that may not fully work, but it is also very early days, and there are plenty of bugs, and new features that I plan to implement. Of cause being open source, I'll always appreciate new issues and Pull Requests.
