🚀 DogeTech Repository Successfully Created!

📍 Repository Details

🎯 What Your Apprentice Needs

Quick Setup Instructions

Send her this simple message:

Hi! I've created a safe experimental development environment for us to work with GitHub Copilot and learn new tools.

Setup (30 minutes, one time):

  1. Install Docker Desktop and VS Code
  2. Install "Dev Containers" extension in VS Code
  3. Run this in PowerShell: 
    git clone https://github.com/BurtHarris/dogeTech.git
cd dogeTech
code .
  4. Click "Reopen in Container" when VS Code asks
  5. Wait for it to build (10 minutes first time)

Result: You'll have the exact same development environment as me - safe to experiment with any tools without breaking your Surface laptop!

Documentation: Check the files in the docs/ folder, especially GETTING_STARTED.md
