About development with Codespaces
Note: Codespaces is currently in limited public beta and subject to change. During the beta period, GitHub does not make any guarantees about the availability of Codespaces. For more information about joining the beta, see "About Codespaces."
You can edit code, debug, and use Git commands while developing in a codespace with Visual Studio Code. For more information, see the Visual Studio Code documentation.
You can forward ports in your codespace to test and debug your application. For more information, see "Forwarding ports in your codespace."
After the Codespaces configuration for a repository changes, you can apply the changes to an existing codespace by rebuilding the container for the codespace. For more information, see "Configuring Codespaces for your project."
For the best experience with Codespaces, we recommend using a Chromium-based browser, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. For more information, see "Troubleshooting your codespace."
You can connect to your codespace directly from Visual Studio Code. For more information, see "Using Codespaces in Visual Studio Code."
Navigating to your codespace
