Add devcontainer for the notebook repo to source control (for codespaces and vscode remote options)

[jlperla]

Current there is a test branch directly on the notebook repo: https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-datascience.notebooks/tree/devcontainer-test/.devcontainer

• This folder and files should be in https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-datascience.myst/tree/main/_notebook_repo in a .devcontainer folder
• We should make sure these correctly deploy to the root of that notebook repo (i.e. inside of https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-datascience.notebooks/tree/main/ in the deployment)
• Close that old test branch when complete.

@mmcky and @Alim-faraji Is that possible? We don't want to maintain those files in the notebook repo separately.

[jlperla]

@jbrightuniverse FYI. You can test when this is complete and these are deployed to the repo.

[mmcky]

@jlperla absolutely. The _notebook_repo is the best spot for it as github actions builds the notebooks repo and then pushes it during the publish.yml workflow.

[jlperla]

Great. Is this something that @jbrightuniverse and @Alim-faraji can do on their own? Does he just need to put the files in there and they automatically copy over?

basically -- and harmonise with lecture-python.myst action by adding the work to sync the generated notebooks to the repo in publish.yml updating for julia

      - name: Prepare lecture-python.notebooks sync
        shell: bash -l {0}
        run: |
          mkdir -p _build/lecture-python.notebooks
          cp -a _notebook_repo/. _build/lecture-python.notebooks
          cp _build/jupyter/*.ipynb _build/lecture-python.notebooks
          ls -a _build/lecture-python.notebooks
      - name: Commit latest notebooks to lecture-python.notebooks
        uses: cpina/[email protected]
        env:
          API_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.QUANTECON_SERVICES_PAT }}
        with:
          source-directory: '_build/lecture-python.notebooks/'
          destination-repository-username: 'QuantEcon'
          destination-repository-name: 'lecture-python.notebooks'
          commit-message: 'auto publishing updates to notebooks'
          destination-github-username: 'quantecon-services'
          user-email: [email protected]

I will need to add the QUANTECON_SERVICES_PAT to push to the repo.
