  • Mastering Code Quality: Setting Up ESLint with Standard JS in TypeScript Projects
    If your team is using a Cloud Development Environment such as GitHub Codespaces, or Dev Containers such as Docker, you can even share the installation of dbaeumer.vscode-eslint with your teammates, via devcontainer.json. - Source: dev.to / 27 days ago

  • Learning Angular
    I am currently right now viewing Angular Essential Training (paid by my company but I have a personal Pluralsight) and using GitHub Codespaces for $4 a month to host the virtuals created for such coding/learning. Source: 6 months ago
  • Amazon CodeCatalyst - Is it ready for the enterprise?
    I’m very interested in recent advancements in cloud-hosted development environments. GitHub Codespaces is the option I have the most experience with and the one I use more generally. With cloud-hosted development environments, your local machine becomes more of a thin client that facilitates access to the internet and the development environment. That is a considerable step toward enabling better education in... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
    Dev Containers also power GitHub Codespaces, which allows you to have the same Dev Container experience in the Browser running in the Cloud! - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • Try MongoDB and Laravel in 1-click via GitHub Codespaces
    Cloud-based development environments can be great platforms to make it easier for new collaborators to get up to speed and contribute to code with minimal setup time.

  • Turbocharge Your Debugging with Skyramp's Hot Code Reload
    In this blog post, we'll explore how to enable and use Skyramp's Hot Code Reload feature to turbocharge your development and debugging workflow for distributed applications.

  • GitHub Codespaces vs Docker Dev Environments
    I've read some about GitHub Codespaces (and even set one up in Github), but I'm not sure if there is any potential for re-use or other overlap with Docker's Dev Environments feature. Source: 10 months ago
  • Best remote development configuration
    Git != fragmented environments. It will keep your code bases in sync at all your locations. However remote dev server are gaining a lot of popularity again. Such as https://www.jetbrains.com/space/ and https://github.com/features/codespaces. Your development environment is in the cloud and all you need a decent connection. Source: 11 months ago
  • Use PyCharm remotely
    This is very interesting but if I read correctly OP’s question they probably mean something like Gitpod/GitHub Codespaces where the IDE is running “somewhere else” and is accessible via browser. Source: 11 months ago
  • Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
    > In theory, Visual Studio Code for the Web Yeah, it works okay. I've been using it with GitHub Codespaces[1] in the past, which is not only VSCode Web, but also allows you to run your code (and any terminal commands really) in GitHub's cloud. You get 60 2-CPU-core hours for free each month, it comes in pretty handy if you just want to quickly code something on the go, and don't have a real laptop / PC available.... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • RPCiege: Setup
    Before we begin the siege of the RPC we need to ensure our system is configured for building Soroban smart contracts. You have two clear options. The first is to use a virtual environment like Gitpod or Codespaces which can have everything pre-installed and configured for you. In fact here's a good hello-world Gitpod VM we've built for you. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
  • Why does C#/.NET is in demand in Philippines especially in BGC? How about PHP?
    Mainly because Microsoft made a huge investment on C# and Azure, and with the commitment on open source, C# is now able to run on all known relevant (Linux, mobile, desktop, cloud, machine learning, IOT, front end, gaming). You can literally write and run code directly on your browser. GitHub Codespaces · GitHub. Source: 11 months ago
  • Software development on a Chromebook
    For a few years I have been aware of on-line development environments such as JSBin, JSFiddle and CodePen. They have spearheaded on-line development and more recently a new breed of on-line resources have become available including CodeSandbox, Stackblitz and Replit. You can even access your GitHub repos directly through an in-browser (web) version of MS Visual Studio Code by pressing the full-stop (try it in one... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
  • Are there any solutions perhaps on Azure, that would let you have a central powershell shell ?
    There is also GitHub Codespaces, which is basically the same thing but hosted by GitHub. Source: 12 months ago
  • Unlocking GitHub Codespaces for Workshops
    This is where GitHub Codespaces comes in. Codespaces is a cloud-based development environment that allows you to create a development environment that is accessible from anywhere. This means you can have Codespaces do all the heavy-lifting for your workshop setup for you, so your attendees can spend more time learning and less time configuring their local machines. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • OpenCommit: GitHub Action to improve commits with meaningful messages on every `git push` 🤯🔫
    I'm also adding GitHub Codespaces configs to the repo to make open-source collaboration experience easier — you would just click "Run in a Codespace" on the README and instantly create a PR from your browser 🧙. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • In what case would you not recommend Chromebook?
    One standout is, if you use a cloud IDE, chromeos will work wonders. Something like Codespaces. Not only will it make your Chromebook feel faster, it saves a lot of time with environment setup. I use something similar for work and it’s great. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Joining the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon
    After doing some research, I decided that for this hackathon I will utilize the power of GitHub Codespaces to develop an open source web application that uses ChatGPT API to automate the process of generating Storybook stories from React components and it will be named StorybookGPT (you can find similar projects made by Kate). Therefore, I presume this project falls under the Wacky Wildcards category. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • A step to step guide to set up Dev Container
    As GitHub Codespaces support Dev Container too, so a project hosted on GitHub might provide a cloud editing environment, which could allow you to edit and ship projects on an iPad. (I will try this later for the Transhook project). - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
  • Synchronized dev environment setups. Does this exist?
    GitHub Codespaces sounds like it might fit the bill: https://github.com/features/codespaces. Source: about 1 year ago
