+#### VSCode Remote Container environnment

 In order to make your `zmk-config` folder available when building within the VSCode Remote Container, you need to create a docker volume named `zmk-config`
 by binding it to the full path of your config directory. If you have run the VSCode Remote Container before, it is likely that docker has created this
 volume automatically -- we need to delete the default volume before binding it to the correct path. Follow the following steps:
