# Clone the Repository into a container

Open VS Code and press ```Ctrl + Shift + P``` (Windows/Linux) or ```Cmd + Shift + P``` (Mac) to get to the Command Palette

Type ```DevContainers Clone...``` until you can see the command:

Enter the URL of the repository:

https://gitea.not-my.cloud/dieter/test_dev.git

The repo should be cloned and the container starts up:

Now you are able to open a new terminal:

# Start the Server:
```npm run devStart``` or ```npx nodemon```

or

![alt text](./assets/start_node_server2.png)

the second method uses the [nodemon.json](../nodemon.json) to configure nodemon.
