/ About /

GitHub Codespaces provides fully configured, secure cloud development environments that run in the browser or connect to local IDEs like VS Code. Developers can spin up a ready-to-code environment instantly from any GitHub repository without manual setup. It supports customization via dev container configuration files and scales from 2 to 32 core virtual machines.
