Creating a Github Codespace

How to make a Github codespace from scratch

Setting up your Codespace  

1. Download and install Visual Studio Code  if you haven’t already

2. Visit the Github page for the ceda site  (note: this also works for any public directory) Make sure you’re logged into Github

3. • Click on the ‘Code’ button
   • then click the Codespaces tab
   • then click on + to make a new Codespace from the repository
     Note: It will take a while to generate the new Codespace. Once it has been made you may get an error message, don’t worry! This is a common occurence.

   You should be able to see your new Codespace by clicking here to go to your Codespaces homepage
