Cookiecutter for Sage user projects with devcontainer #34286
Description
A cross of
- https://github.com/ilyasotkov/vscode-devcontainer-python-cookiecutter
- https://github.com/mmasdeu/sage_package_template
The devcontainer config would be one of those added in #33671 (sagemath-sage or downstream-...).
Prospective sage users on Windows can use the devcontainer config to automate the Sage install in WSL. VS Code walks you through this.
Also a command sage --cookiecutter or sage --new-project could be added.
