 Enables `voraus.core` integration within the ROS framework.
 
-## Format the code
+## Development
+
+This repository provides a dev container to streamline the development process.
+It offers an environment where all necessary development dependencies are installed and ready-to-use.
+If you are using VSCode, the `Dev Containers` extension might be worth a shot. Other editors also have dev container
+integrations (NeoVim, IntelliJ, ...).
+However, it is still possible to use the dev container using plain docker commands.
+
+### Build the container
+
+`docker build -f .devcontainer/Dockerfile -t voraus-ros-bridge-dev .`
+
+### Run the container
+
+`docker run --rm -it --volume $(pwd):/home/developer/workspace voraus-ros-bridge-dev`
+
+### Format the code
 
 Run `cargo fmt`
 
-## Analyze the code
+### Analyze the code
