The okteto up CLI reference showed the okteto up [devContainer] syntax but never explained the optional argument. This adds a short note in the up section clarifying that:

  • The devContainer argument names a Development Container from the dev section of the Okteto Manifest, and it is optional.
  • Passing it activates that Development Container directly, without scanning the available Development Containers or showing an interactive selector.
  • Omitting it prompts you to choose when the manifest defines more than one Development Container.

No restructuring, just the added note.

Closes #251

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Clarify that the [devContainer] argument to `okteto up` is optional,
that passing it skips scanning and the interactive selector, and that
omitting it prompts a choice when the manifest defines more than one
Development Container.

Closes #251
