I think I found a solution that may assist you. I just found out how to live-edit files inside a running container directly from the ide. You need VSCode, install the Remote Development and Dev Containers extension packs (maybe Docker extension as well). Connect to your container by using the Dev-Containers action "Attach to running container" and see the magic happens. You can choose a specific path (file/folder) and edit and save the files with ease. Just don't forget to restart/recompile (whatever) your program in order to see the actual changes in runtime.
