When you need to work on a new project, pick up a new task, or review a PR, you can simply spin up a Cloud-hosted environment, and GitHub Codespaces takes care of configuring it correctly. It's where all of the compute associated with software development happens: compiling, debugging, restoring, etc. You can work with these environments from Visual Studio Code or in a browser-based editor.Īn environment is the "backend" half of GitHub Codespaces. GitHub Codespaces provides cloud-powered development environments for any activity - whether it's a long-term project, or a short-term task like reviewing a pull request.
