+- **npm, yarn, pnpm** - JavaScript package managers
+- **Maven & Gradle** - Java build tools
+- **git** - Version control
+
+### Python Packages (Pre-installed)

+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+NODE_ENV=development
+PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
+GOPATH=/home/node/go
+TZ=UTC
+```
+
+## File Mounts
+
+- `~/.ssh` → `/home/node/.ssh` (read-only)
+- `~/.gitconfig` → `/home/node/.gitconfig` (read-only)
+- `~/.m2` → `/home/node/.m2` (Maven cache)
+
+## Common Commands
+
+### Node.js
+```bash
+node --version
+npm install
+npm run dev
+npm test
+```
+
+### Python
+```bash
+python --version
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python -m pytest
+python -m black .
+python -m pylint *.py
+```
+
+### Go
+```bash
+go version
+go mod tidy
+go build ./...
+golangci-lint run ./...
+```
+
+### Java
+```bash
+java -version
+mvn clean install
+gradle build
+```
+
+### Docker
+```bash
+docker ps
+docker build .
+docker run -it <image>
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adding VS Code Extensions
+Edit `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` and add to the `extensions` array:
+```json
+"customizations": {
+  "vscode": {
+    "extensions": [
+      "publisher.extension-name"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Adding System Packages
+Update `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` RUN command:
+```dockerfile
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+    package-name \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+```
+
+### Adding Environment Variables
+Edit `devcontainer.json` `remoteEnv` section or update `post-create.sh`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container won't start
+- Check Docker is running: `docker ps`
+- Rebuild container: `Dev Containers: Rebuild Container`
+
+### Port conflicts
+- Modify `forwardPorts` in `devcontainer.json`
+- Or use `portsAttributes` to change auto-forward behavior
+
+### Permission issues
+- Ensure `/workspace` directories are writable
+- Check mounted volumes have correct permissions
+
+### Git credentials not working
+- Verify `~/.gitconfig` exists and is mounted
+- Consider using SSH keys from `~/.ssh`
