We might heard about the news of codespace from github recently. If you don’t , it’s ok. I will briefly introduce about codespace today.

GitHub has announced its product, Codespaces recently for its daily development flow. Codespaces provides a full-featured cloud-hosted development environment that can be very useful for day to day development or short interval period development for overall cases. Codespaces now supports Emacs, Vim and Visual Studio Code as code editors.

After Microsoft bought Github, I knew this is probably coming as a service and here it is. They said

Local development environments are fragile. And even when functioning perfectly, a single-context, bespoke local development environment felt increasingly out of step with the instant-on, access-from-anywhere world in which we now operate.

The Codespaces can run directly within GitHub, so developers can start contributing to their projects almost instantly.

According to GitHub, The target of Codespaces not only fixed the issue of vulnerabilities in the local environment, but also provided additional opportunities to improve the development experience. Much effort to run in a single developer local environment. Similarly, developer machines can be upgraded to higher specs very easily.

You can see the official announcement blog here and don’t forget to try it out as it’s exciting to do a development not at locally as we usually do, this time is at cloud.

Yuuma.
