GitHub last year launched a Codespace feature that provides an online programming environment for writing and running code in the GitHub repository. But this function has been in the beta stage, not open to the public.
Until today, GitHub announced on Twitter that Codespaces is now open to everyone on GitHub Teams and the GitHub Enterprise Cloud for quick access to a pay-as-you-go managed development environment for Teams.
The Code button on the home page of the repository will prompt you to do so if you qualify.
Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available for individual users’ warehouses.
So what has GitHub updated for individual users?
Now use a browser to open any repository and replace the com of github.com with dev in the link to open an online VSCode editor that can view and edit the project code.
In addition, it also supports shortcut keys. Click the. Key on the keyboard on the GitHub warehouse page to open it directly.
The online editor above only provides editing functionality, not a runtime environment, but is a great boon for front-end developers. With GitHub Action, online programming becomes even more possible.

In addition, GitPod has long supported online programming and runs in a variety of languages. Charging by the hour, it’s free for 50 hours a month for regular users, but also for interested readers.
