A codespace is a cloud-hosted development environment that can be customized to fit our needs.

• It is created in a Docker container running on a virtual machine.
• By default, the codespace uses Ubuntu as the operating system, but we can select an OS of your choice.
• We can connect to a codespace through a browser, VS Code, or GitHub CLI.

Benefits of using codespaces:

• Preconfigured Development Environment: Start coding immediately with a pre-set environment tailored to your needs.
• Remote Resources: If your local computer lacks sufficient processing power, codespaces provide access to machines with adequate resources.
• Work from Anywhere: Access your development environment from any device, whether it’s a friend’s laptop, a tablet, or any other computer.
