Codespaces: cloud-based development environments for writing code anywhere, anytime

General Introduction

GitHub Codespaces is an instant cloud-based development environment designed to provide developers with an anytime, anywhere programming experience. It uses container technology and supports a wide range of programming languages and tools, allowing users to access and edit code on any device through a browser or local editor.Codespaces provides a highly configurable development environment, ensuring that all members of a project can work in the same environment, resulting in more efficient development and collaboration.

The free configuration is 2C 8G RAM + 32G disk, which can be used for 60 hours per month. It's no different from using VS code locally, you can use it as you go, and the disk is permanent.

Function List

• Instant development environment: No local configuration required, start coding anywhere, anytime.
• Multi-language support: Supports multiple programming languages and tools to meet different development needs.
• Highly configurable: Customize the development environment through the configuration file to adapt to different project requirements.
• cross-device access: Flexibility and ease of accessing the code space through a browser or local editor.
• Collaborative development: Supports team collaboration by providing real-time sharing and collaborative editing capabilities.
• Resource management: Optimize resource usage by choosing different VM configurations based on project requirements.
• safety: Provide a secure development environment that protects code and data security.

Using Help

Creating a code space
