Question: how to go about making PR's regarding my changes

[0wnlife]

Hey maintainers,

This is my first time contributing, so I wanted to know how to go about making a PR.
Because I kept running into some pet-pieves, so I thought I'd implement a few of them (see below).

Please let me know how you would like me to continue.

With kind regards,

Container name: add-name-impl

Which are mentioned in the following issues:

Although these issues are not a 100% match, they are requesting/mentioning wanting to be able to set/use container names. Since the spec already has a name in the devcontainer.json and it was easily obtainable via the config, I've simply made use of it by then adding the --name <config.name> to the docker/podman command.

devcontainers/spec

• #184 — [proposal] Support for container name option in devcontainer.json
• #692 — Add support for command-line option for container name

devcontainers/cli

• #306 — devcontainer up should allow container name customization

---

Commands stop/down: add-stop-down-command-impl

Which are mentioned in the following issues:

devcontainers/cli

• #386 — Down command
• #1207 — [Feedback] Started using devcontainers last week, was looking for devcontainer down
• #897 — When support devcontainer stop/down features

devcontainers/spec

• #694 — Status and Stop container, Destroy image

Node LTS 20 -> LTS 24: update-node-lts-24

and while I was at it I've also updated node to the latest LTS version (24), because node 20 support will end pretty soon based on their release schedule
