Research direction
Start by locating the CLI entry points for the up and exec commands and read how they handle workspace folders, command arguments, and interactive sessions. The work is done when a documented single invocation can start the dev container and attach to an interactive command, while the proposed workspace-folder shorthand has a clearly decided scope.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I would like to be able start and exec into my devcontainer with a single command (like you can with docker using docker run -it zsh for example).
So instead of:
devcontainer up
and
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . zsh
There would be some alternative flag/command/whatever. It could maybe look something like:
devcontainer up -it --workspace-folder . zsh
As a side note, the --workspace-folder flag is a little unwieldy. It would be nice to at least have a shorthand.
