Using Codespaces in Visual Studio Code

About Codespaces in Visual Studio Code

You can use your local install of Visual Studio Code to create, manage, work in, and delete codespaces. To use Codespaces in VS Code, you need to install the GitHub Codespaces extension. For more information on setting up Codespaces in VS Code, see "Prerequisites."

By default, if you create a new codespace on GitHub.com, it will open in the browser. If you would prefer to open any new codespaces in VS Code automatically, you can set your default editor to be VS Code. For more information, see "Setting your default editor for Codespaces."

If you prefer to work in the browser, but want to continue using your existing VS Code extensions, themes, and shortcuts, you can turn on Settings Sync. For more information, see "Personalizing Codespaces for your account."

Prerequisites

To develop in a codespace directly in VS Code, you must install and sign into the GitHub Codespaces extension with your GitHub Enterprise Cloud credentials. The GitHub Codespaces extension requires VS Code October 2020 Release 1.51 or later.

Use the Visual Studio Code Marketplace to install the GitHub Codespaces extension. For more information, see Extension Marketplace in the VS Code documentation.

Creating a codespace in VS Code

After you connect your account on GitHub.com to the GitHub Codespaces extension, you can create a new codespace. For more information about the GitHub Codespaces extension, see the VS Code Marketplace marketplace.

Changing the machine type in VS Code

Typically, you can run your codespace on a choice of remote machine, from 2 cores to 32 cores. これらはそれぞれ、異なるレベルのリソースと支払い層を持っています。 For information, see "About billing for Codespaces."

By default the machine type with the lowest valid resources is used when you create a codespace. You can change the machine type of your codespace at any time.

1. In VS Code, open the Command Palette (shift command P / shift control P).

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

   

3. Click the codespace that you want to change.

   

4. Choose the machine type you want to use.

   Note: Your choice of available machine types may be limited by a policy configured for your organization, or by a minimum machine type specification for your repository. For more information, see "Restricting access to machine types" and "Setting a minimum specification for codespace machines."

5. If the codespace is currently running, a message is displayed asking if you would like to restart and reconnect to your codespace now.

   Click Yes if you want to change the machine type used for this codespace immediately.

   If you click No, or if the codespace is not currently running, the change will take effect the next time the codespace restarts.

You can delete codespaces from within VS Code when you are not currently working in a codespace.

1. VS Codeの左サイドバーで、 Remote Explorerのアイコンをクリックしてください。

2. Under "GITHUB CODESPACES", right-click the codespace you want to delete.
