-## Announcement

-As we transition our focus to the OpenBB Platform, this repository will soon be rebranded as OpenBB-finance/OpenBBPlatform.
-
-However, we are committed to continuing our mission to democratize investment research by helping users and contributors with financial data integration and standardization.

+### Devcontainer
+
+The OpenBB Platform can be run in a [Devcontainer](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) in VS Code. This is a container with a well-defined environment, and it can be used to develop, build, test, and run the OpenBB Platform and its CLI.
+
+1. Open the project in VS Code
+2. Press F1 (Command Palette) and select Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container
+3. Wait for the container to build and the postCreateCommand to run
+4. Open a terminal in VS Code and run the following command: source obb/bin/activate
+
+> You can also click the Dev Containers badge at the top of the README to open the project in a Devcontainer.
