DevContainers in the Rhino Project

DevContainers (Development Containers) are a standardized way to define and manage development environments using Docker containers. They encapsulate an entire development toolchain into a single, self-contained unit, providing a consistent, reproducible, and isolated environment that works seamlessly across different machines and operating systems.

In the context of the Rhino project, devcontainers are crucial for eliminating the classic "it works on my machine" problem. By ensuring that all developers, whether working on macOS, Windows, or Linux use an identical set of tools, dependencies, and configurations, we streamline collaboration and reduce environment-related bugs.
