Questions about Coder and devcontainer

I have been watching some YouTube videos about Coder. Coder seems to be exactly the solution I am looking for. Unfortunately, I have some comprehension issues regarding the devcontainer.

I have installed Coder on a VM using Docker-compose. Login is via a subdomain.

I have several projects in Astro, LaTeX, R/R-Studio and in the C programming language. My projects are stored in GitHub/GitLab. That means that all Astro projects in the Astro Template and all LaTeX Projects in a LaTeX Template?

Could you please show how to set up a Docker template (devcontainer) and a workspace for Astro, for example. How all extensions and additional software are installed. Saving the project on the local hard disk and saving it in GitHub/GitLab. Git pull, git clone. How do I back up the project once a container is restarted or corrupted?

Should I use devcontainer or docker without devcontainer? What are the advantages and disadvantages to use devcontainer?
