+# A minimal devcontainer with JAVA, Clojure and minimal clj tools
+
+It sets up a minimal dev container environment with green fields minimal tools for Clojure.
+
+# Quickstart
+
+0. Install [devcontainer cli](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli)
+1. Run `devcontainer templates apply -t ghcr.io/scicloj/devcontainer-templates/basecloj` to create a devcontainer setup
+   with default settings in your current directoty
+2. Open folder with VSCode / devcontainer / devpod / Codespaces and trigger/wait for container build
+3. [Start the Calva repl](https://calva.io/getting-started/)
+
+
+4. Create a new app, lib, template and more: 
+    * Read [deps-new](https://github.com/seancorfield/deps-new)
+    * Read [clj-new docs](https://github.com/seancorfield/clj-new) 
+
+## Customization
+5. Install more features in devcontainer: https://containers.dev/features
