Thanks for this! I constantly open projects with `code .`, and have tired of waiting a few seconds for the `devcontainer configuration detected` popup, and then another few seconds while the project re-opens in the container.

Exactly! The devcontainer-cli that can be installed using vscode contains a `open` utility that opens it as well. But the one available in package managers and npm does not have this, because they want this to be IDE-independent. It is also quite slow and requires node.

Ah, didn't know it was a thing. Kind of gross it's only installable with NPM however

Cool project. I'm not sure why but the brew version isn't installing the mac ARM64 binary:

    -bash: /opt/homebrew/bin/vscli: cannot execute binary 
    file: Exec format error
    $ file /opt/homebrew/bin/vscli
    /opt/homebrew/bin/vscli: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked, stripped

I actually don't see any ARM64 releases.

Yeah I don't have any ARM64 builds yet.

We have them know: https://github.com/michidk/vscli/releases/tag/v0.1.7 Just not integrated into homebrew, since then we could not automatically update our formula anymore :/
