44-45: LGTM with security considerationsThe addition of
git config --global safe.directory '*'is a necessary change to enable proper git operations within dev containers, particularly for cloning repositories like STM32 hal drivers. While this setting disables Git's directory ownership checks, it's acceptable in this isolated dev container context.Note: Keep monitoring Git security advisories for any future recommendations regarding safe.directory configurations in containerized environments.

44-46: Consider implementing a more robust solution across all platformsWhile the current implementation solves the immediate issue, consider these long-term improvements for all platform configurations:
- Document the specific repositories that require this setting in the README
- Create a script that specifically configures required directories rather than using a global wildcard
- Consider implementing this as part of the container build process rather than post-create
This would provide better security and maintainability across all platform configurations.
Would you like help creating a script to manage safe.directory settings more granularly or updating the documentation?

44-45: LGTM - Verify completeness of changes
The implementation is consistent with other devcontainer configurations.
Let's verify if all devcontainer.json files have been updated:
✅ Verification successful
All devcontainer.json files have the required git safe.directory configuration
The verification shows that all 6 devcontainer.json files in the repository have been updated with the git safe.directory configuration:
- .devcontainer/All/devcontainer.json
- .devcontainer/AzureRTOS/devcontainer.json
- .devcontainer/ChibiOS/devcontainer.json
- .devcontainer/ESP32/devcontainer.json
- .devcontainer/FreeRTOS-NXP/devcontainer.json
- .devcontainer/TI/devcontainer.json
🏁 Scripts executed
The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash
# Description: Check if all devcontainer.json files have the git safe.directory configuration
# Find all devcontainer.json files
echo "Checking all devcontainer.json files:"
fd devcontainer.json .devcontainer/
# Check for the presence of the git config command in each file
echo -e "\nChecking for git safe.directory configuration:"
rg -l "git config --global safe.directory '\*'" .devcontainer/
