# Develop inside a Container

Sometimes you need to configure the linux environment if you need to test binary files. Learn how to configure a local development environment using Docker.

It is explained in terms of macOS, but you can also check other platform guides [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers).

## Get Started

1. Follow this [instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers#_sharing-git-credentials-with-your-container). 

## Trouble shooting

* If you can't pull or fetch github repo inside the container do this in you local machine:

  ```bash
  $ ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/github_rsa # or ssh keys registered in you github.
  ```
