What Hacker News says

The official Claude Code repo is configured use a devcontainer config: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code You can download the devcontainer CLI and use it to start a Docker container with a working Claude Code install, simple firewall, etc. out of the box. (I believe this is how the VSCode extension works: It uses this repo to bootstrap the devcontainer). Basic instructions: - Install the devcontainer CLI: `https://github.com/devcontainers/cli#install-script` - Clone the Claude Code repo: `https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code` - Navigate to the top-level repo directory and bring up the container: `devcontainer --workspace-folder . up` - Start Claude in the container: `devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . bash -c "exec claude"` P.S. It's all just Docker containers under the hood.
In Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
