Open KarenJewell opened 1 year ago

KarenJewell commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Can we use Github Codespaces to containerise our environment? This is intended to help new starts get coding sooner.

Describe the solution you'd like N/A

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe Docker?

Additional context Does codespaces need a pro account/ premium feature?

Here's the billing link https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-codespaces/about-billing-for-github-codespaces

Also consider docker images running locally, which can also be run in the cloud if needed. VS Code has dev containers. And there is also docker desktop.

Something to bear in mind (as I just discovered when trying to review a PR) is that we'll need to configure the codespace to load in multiple repositories.

See the following links for more details: https://github.blog/2022-04-20-codespaces-multi-repository-monorepo-scenarios/ https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/managing-your-codespaces/managing-repository-access-for-your-codespaces
