Changing the machine type for your codespace

En este artículo

You can change the type of machine that's running your codespace, so that you're using resources appropriate for the work you're doing.

GitHub Codespaces está disponible para las organizaciones que usen GitHub Team o GitHub Enterprise Cloud. GitHub Codespaces también está disponible como versión beta limitada para usuarios individuales en los planes GitHub Free y GitHub Pro. Para más información, vea "Productos de GitHub".

About machine types

Note: You can only select or change the machine type if you are a member of an organization using GitHub Codespaces and are creating a codespace on a repository owned by that organization.

Normalmente, puedes ejecutar tu codespace en la máquina remota de tu elección, desde 2 hasta 32 núcleos. Cada una de estas tiene un nivel de recursos y de facturación diferentes. Para obtener información, consulta "Acerca de la facturación de GitHub Codespaces".

De forma predeterminada, al crear un codespace se utiliza el tipo de máquina con los recursos válidos más bajos. You can choose an alternative machine type either when you create a codespace or at any time after you've created a codespace.

For information on choosing a machine type when you create a codespace, see "Creating a codespace."

Changing the machine type

Note: Tu elección de los tipos de máquina disponibles podría estar limitada por una directiva configurada para la organización o por una especificación mínima del tipo de máquina para el repositorio. Para más información, vea "Restricción del acceso a los tipos de máquina" y "Configuración de una especificación mínima para las máquinas de los codespaces".

  1. Navigate to the "Your codespaces" page at github.com/codespaces.

    The current machine type for each of your codespaces is displayed.

    'Your codespaces' list

  2. Click the ellipsis (...) to the right of the codespace you want to modify.

  3. Click Change machine type.

    'Change machine type' menu option

  4. If multiple machine types are available for your codespace, choose the type of machine you want to use.

    Dialog box showing available machine types to choose

  5. Click Update codespace.

  1. In VS Code, open the Command Palette with Command+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux).

  2. Search for and select "Codespaces: Change Machine Type."

  3. If you're not following these instructions within a codespace, click the codespace that you want to change.

    Searching for a branch to create a new Codespaces

    If you are following these instructions in a codespace, the change will apply to the codespace you're working in.

  4. Select the machine type you want to use.

  5. If you're changing to a machine type with a different storage capacity, a prompt will appear asking if you would like to continue. Read the prompt and click Yes to accept.

You can use the gh codespace edit --machine MACHINE-TYPE-NAME GitHub CLI command to change the machine type of a codespace. To use this command, you'll first need to find out the available machine types for your codespace.

  1. To view your list of codespaces, in a terminal, enter the following command.

    gh codespace list

  2. Optionally, to find the current machine type for a codespace, enter the following command.

    gh api /user/codespaces/CODESPACE-NAME

    Replace CODESPACE-NAME with the permanent name of the codespace, for example octocat-myrepo-gmc7. The permanent names are listed under the NAME column in the list returned by gh codespace list.

    If you're prompted to request the codespace scope, follow the instructions in the terminal.

    Details for the current machine are listed under the machine field.

  3. To find the available machine types for a codespace, enter the following command.

    gh api /user/codespaces/CODESPACE-NAME/machines

    Replace CODESPACE-NAME with the permanent name of the codespace, for example octocat-myrepo-gmc7.

  4. To change the machine type for a codespace, enter the following command.

    gh codespace edit --machine MACHINE-TYPE-NAME

    Replace MACHINE-TYPE-NAME with the name of an available machine type for your codespace, for example standardLinux32gb.

  5. Using the arrow keys, navigate to the codespace you want to change, then press Enter.

If you changed to a virtual machine with a different storage capacity (for example, from 64GB to 32GB), your codespace will be unavailable for a short time while the machine type is changed. If the codespace is currently active, it will automatically be stopped. When the change is complete, you'll be able to restart the codespace running on the new machine type.

If you changed to a virtual machine with the same storage capacity, the change will be applied the next time you restart the codespace. An active codespace will not be stopped automatically. For more information on restarting a codespace, see "Stopping and starting a codespace."
