To customize the runtimes and tools in your codespace, you can create one or more dev container configurations for your repository. To get started with GitHub Codespaces, see ' Quickstart for GitHub Codespaces.' For more information on creating or reopening a codespace, see ' Creating a codespace' and ' Opening an existing codespace.' To learn more about how GitHub Codespaces works, see ' Deep dive into GitHub Codespaces.' You can create a codespace from any branch or commit in your repository and begin developing using cloud-based compute resources. You can connect to your codespaces from the browser or locally using Visual Studio Code. GitHub Codespaces run on a variety of VM-based compute options hosted by, which you can configure from 2 core machines up to 32 core machines. You can customize your project for GitHub Codespaces by committing configuration files to your repository (often known as Configuration-as-Code), which creates a repeatable codespace configuration for all users of your project. A codespace is a development environment that's hosted in the cloud.
