Coding in the Cloud with GitHub Codespaces
summary
GitHub Codespaces gives a cloud dev machine tuned per repo with debugging, terminals, port forwarding and persisted state; it supports press "." to open github.dev for quick web editing and pre-builds cut spin-up to ~10s (example: github.com repo ~23 GB ready in ~10s, down from ~45m). Devcontainer.json + GitHub Actions build templates, extensions and dotfiles install, secrets inject as env vars, ports can be shared publicly or org‑only, sizes range from 2–32+ cores and the service is paid.
