Installation Type for HA Development?

Development
1

I’m looking to do some development for one of the integrations in HA, and was wondering if anyone has a recommended install method? I tried running HA in a VM but my main concern there is access to the file system to edit config files and change integration code on the fly.

Is there a better way you similar dev’s out there are using to get a dev environment up and running?

Use the dev container in vscode method. Comes with a vscode config to do all linting etc.

I run a Mac and just pull the repo locally and run home assistant dev directly in a python virtual environment
