Hi Team,
When we create ballerina project using bal new command, it generates a file with name .devcontainer.json.
What is the purpose of this file?
Do we need to commit to version control repo ?
Thanks,
Milinda

It's to support developing inside a container feature in VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers
When you use devcontainer instead, you don't have to install ballerina locally. Instead use the ballerina container to do the developments (it's like mounting the project sources to a container while the container has required dev tools installed)
Committing that is up to you. If you think another member or you are going to use devcontainers to develop the project, then committing that will be a good idea
