Development environments - distributing tools in containers. How to work with scalar/git in this case?

Hi
I come for the seek of some smart people to assist me with the "best" approach to setup dev environments when working with Scalar.

I've grown very fond to using VSCode and devcontainers and as part of it I like the developers to have access to git inside the container while developing. Up until now, I hadn't worked with a big monorepo and I usually didn't think much about shipping the same version in git as I was using locally, I simply cared about "having git", well ,that has changed.
My thoughts now are, the devcontainer architecture I use, is the one proposed by Microsoft, thus, I mount my repository into the container, therefore, I need to have cloned the repository. Now my questionable statement is:
Scalar register starts the files system monitor in the background, the container will not know about this (say we have scalar & git inside the container), thus, using git commands inside the container may become slow, furthermore, I wouldn't want to start a second file system monitor inside the container, why double the resource needs?
If the above assumtion is correct, what do you think could be the best setup to work with devcontainers and scalar/git?

Friendly ping, someone?
