Crib for VS Code and Cursor

Section titled “Crib for VS Code and Cursor”

crib-vscode (maintained by @glsorre) is a VS Code and Cursor extension that wraps the crib CLI and turns its dev container workflow into a one-click experience inside your editor. Open a project with a .devcontainer config, run Up or Attach, and you’re inside a running container - without the rebuild-and-wait cycle of “Reopen in Container,” and without giving up the CLI for everything else.

The extension adds a Crib → Workspaces sidebar that lists your crib-managed containers, plus commands for the full lifecycle: up, attach, down, restart, rebuild, and remove. Attach goes through the Dev Containers extension: the plugin syncs a generated nameConfig from your devcontainer.json and hands off to “Attach to Running Container.” It also merges feature-contributed VS Code extensions, supports SSH agent forwarding for crib’s ssh plugin, and logs everything to a dedicated Crib output channel.

It ships as two extensions on the Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX:

  • Crib Extension (rightright-me.crib-vscode-main) - workspace-side lifecycle and the Workspaces view
  • Crib Attach Bridge (rightright-me.crib-vscode-attach-bridge) - a small UI-host companion required for Remote SSH (and similar setups where the editor window and the machine running crib are different hosts)

For a local folder window, install the main extension plus Dev Containers. For Remote SSH, install both extensions - main on the remote, bridge on your laptop.
