Hi!

I can run `:DevcontainerStart` and `:DevcontainerAttach` successfully. I get a tab with another neovim which works. But, can I somehow get a terminal sesson that is running inside the container? If I run `:terminal` I get a terminal, but it's not running inside the container.
I have seen when people use vscode that they get dropped into a terminal, running inside the container itself so they have access to all commands etc installed inside.

Hi!

Thanks for trying the plugin and reaching out!

If you are running one of the more recent versions, you should be able
to pass a command to `:DevcontainerAttach` - by default it is `nvim`,
but by running `:DevcontainerAttach sh` you should be able to get a
terminal session.

Let me know if that works for you!
