### Search before asking - [x] I had searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no similar feature requirement. ### Use case Currently, developers on macOS face significant challenges when setting up a local development environment to compile the `gitextractor` plugin. ```bash Building plugin gitextractor to bin/plugins/gitextractor/gitextractor.so with args: --gcflags= # github.com/libgit2/git2go/v33 ../../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/libgit2/git2go/v33@v33.0.6/Build_system_dynamic.go:12:3: error: "Invalid libgit2 version; this git2go supports libgit2 between v1.3.0 and v1.3.0" 12 | # error "Invalid libgit2 version; this git2go supports libgit2 between v1.3.0 and v1.3.0" | ^ 1 error generated. make[2]: *** [build-plugin] Error 1 make[1]: *** [godev] Error 2 make: *** [godev] Error ``` The primary issue is related to compilation failures and dependency conflicts related to `git2go`. Many macOS developers use Homebrew to manage packages, and Homebrew often installs its own version of libgit2 as a shared dependency for other tools. This system-level installation frequently conflicts with the version required by the plugin, forcing developers into complex workarounds. This creates a high barrier to entry for new contributors and makes the development process unnecessarily frustrating. A [PR](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/pull/8193) was merged some time ago introducing devcontainers, which works as expected and would kindly ask to bring this back (special thanks to @TonyWu1995 ) ### Description _No response_ ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [x] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
