GitHub Codespaces allows you to create a cloud-based development environment directly from your GitHub repository, eliminating the need to set up a local environment. To set up a Codespace, go to your repository, click on the "Code" button, and select "Codespaces", then click "Create Codespace" — this will launch a pre-configured development environment. You can customize your Codespace by creating a .devcontainer folder in your repository, where you can define your preferred extensions, development tools, environment variables, and configurations using a devcontainer.json file. This allows you to have a consistent development setup across different projects and devices. |
