install "features" intended for devcontainers locally

feature.sh

#!/bin/bash

# install a "feature" from the devcontainers/features repo outside of a container
# requires git, jq
# for this to work well, you should already have a user with uid/gid 1000

FEATUREROOT="${FEATUREROOT:-"/opt/features"}"
FEATUREREPO="${FEATUREREPO:-"https://github.com/devcontainers/features"}"

echo $FEATUREROOT
echo $FEATUREREPO

FEATURE=$1

git clone "${FEATUREREPO}" "${FEATUREROOT}"
cd "${FEATUREROOT}"
./src/common-utils/install.sh

./src/"${FEATURE}"/install.sh

jq -r '.containerEnv | keys[] as $k | "export \($k)=\(.[$k])"' ./src/"${FEATURE}"/devcontainer-feature.json > /etc/profile.d/99-"${FEATURE}".sh

built this for my incus containers as a quick way to provision some dev tools. Why reinvent the wheel?!
