VSCode + Dev Containers and Toolbx/Distrobox setup for Fedora Silverblue

PLEASE NOTE:

I personally don't use Flatpak VSCode anymore, since I switched from Fedora Silverblue to Universal Blue's project Bluefin-DX. I'll leave the instructions here for those who want them, but be aware that Flatpak VSCode instructions won't be maintained anymore.

Steps

If you prefer VSCode Flatpak

Install VSCode Flatpak from Flathub:

WordPress Theme Updates from GitHub

Adding automatic theme updates from a GitHub repository is actually pretty simple. The following function will hook into WordPress's native update system and grab the latest release from the repo of your choosing (if the version number has increased).

Place the following in your functions.php

// Automatic theme updates from the GitHub repository
add_filter('pre_set_site_transient_update_themes', 'automatic_GitHub_updates', 100, 1);
function automatic_GitHub_updates($data) {

	#!/bin/bash
	set -euo pipefail

	echo "🔍 Detecting architecture..."
	ARCH=$(uname -m)
	case "$ARCH" in
	x86_64) ARCH_NAME="amd64" ;;
	aarch64) ARCH_NAME="arm64" ;;
	*) echo "❌ Unsupported architecture: $ARCH"; exit 1 ;;
	esac

	#!/bin/bash

	# Define variables
	APPIMAGE_PATH="/opt/cursor.appimage"
	ICON_PATH="/opt/cursor.png"
	DESKTOP_ENTRY_PATH="/usr/share/applications/cursor.desktop"


	# Determine the shell and RC file
	SHELL_NAME=$(basename "$SHELL")
