Hello @mattmazzola ,

Thank you for the contribution. One small question, does this template offer anything different from this one already listed in the devcontainers templates index.

[mattmazzola]

does this template offer anything different

I would say yes, it comes with a lot of other features and extensions which are mostly personal preferences. For example, mine uses the UV container feature for install, while the one you liked uses RUN commands in Dockerfile to install uv.
However, it may not differ in the way that is expected or acceptable by some convention I am not aware of.

I think if the intention is to keep the index only referring to minimal set of devcontainers then perhaps this PR isn't what I thought and can be closed.

I wanted a way to make the devcontainers I was developing show in VScode for convenience and for other collaborators to use and test. Based on the documentation I found, adding my templates to the index seemed liked the only way.

Although I anticipate that this process could contribute to noise if everyone adds their personal containers to the index and it causes the index to be overwhelming and perhaps less usable. However, I assumed this is unlikely since very few people are writing container templates

I saw what looked like other personal devcontainer repositories listed in the index and thought, Ok, perhaps this practice is allowed and expected, and so I submitted mine as well

From what I understand, once your repo is added. You can add other templates and they will implicitly show up
