  • Code-Server

    VS Code in the browser

  • Yes, with special Electron shenanigans. The web UI has a few features that make it more device agnostic too (e.g. a hamburger menu to replace the File menu. Yes, you can run Codespaces on an iPad.)

    Code server (https://github.com/cdr/code-server) works in a similar way using your own PC as a host, but for whatever reason Codespaces is more performant.

  • vscode-dev-containers

    Discontinued NOTE: Most of the contents of this repository have been migrated to the new devcontainers GitHub org (https://github.com/devcontainers). See https://github.com/devcontainers/template-starter and https://github.com/devcontainers/feature-starter for information on creating your own!

  • Currently, VS Code is the primary method of connection to each Codespace, and we do not support other editors officially.

    If you’re looking to connect via SSH, we do have a workaround here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main... -- and I use this regularly for Jupyter Notebooks.

  • wincent

    💾 Dot-files

  • You can have it clone your dotfiles repo automatically and run a set-up script:

    https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/customizing-your-codes...

    I also have a very bespoke dotfiles config that predates Codespaces (https://github.com/wincent/wincent), so I made a thin wrapper around it that makes it work (https://github.com/wincent/dotfiles). For people with less complicated set-ups (ie. basically the entire universe), it is pretty straightforward.

  • disnix

    Disnix: A Nix-based distributed service deployment tool

  • cli

    GitHub’s official command line tool

  • You know how they added Github CLI[0], right? There may be a time where you must use Github CLI instead of a "standard" git client to interact with Github projects. That would be the "extinguish" phase. Right now they have embraced and are extending (such as with Github CLI).

  • dotfiles

    GitHub Codespaces setup (by dcreager)

  • The repo owner gets to define the base Docker image that’s used in the codespace. And then it also looks for a dotfiles repo under your user account, which you can use to install all of your personal customizations. You can see mine at https://github.com/dcreager/dotfiles
