Developping inside a container means you need to Open a Git repository or GitHub PR in an isolated container volume#, in order for your container filesystem to mount the right local folder (the one with a .git in it)

Start VS Code and run Remote-Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... from the Command Palette (F1).
