Research direction

Start with the contributing page and review the RAPIDS devcontainers project linked in the issue. Compare the relevant contributing pages across RAPIDS libraries, then document a consistent code-building section or a table of project-specific links. Done means the contributing guidance is standardized and clearly links any library-specific instructions.

Raised https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/15395 and @vyasr thought it could be discussed at a RAPIDS level. I thought it would create an issue here.

The contributing page has a section on building code using https://github.com/rapidsai/devcontainers

Describe alternatives you've considered
If there are differences between the libraries the contributing page you could have a table that has each project in a row and a link to it's contributing page.
