Develop code using GitHub Codespaces and Visual Studio Code!

Welcome

GitHub Codespaces is a development environment that's hosted in the cloud.

• Who this is for: Developers, DevOps Engineers, Engineering Managers, Product Managers.
• What you'll learn: How to create a codespace, push code from a codespace, select a custom image, and customize a codespace.
• What you'll build: A codespace with devcontainer.json files, customizations, and personalizations.
• Prerequisites: If you need to learn about Visual Studio Code, read Visual Studio Code Docs first.
• How long: This course can be completed in less than an hour.

In this course, you will:

1. Create your first codespace
2. Add a custom image
3. Customize your codespace
4. Personalize your codespace

How to start this course

1. Right-click Start course and open the link in a new tab.
2. In the new tab, most of the prompts will automatically fill in for you.
   • For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
   • We recommend creating a public repository, as private repositories will use Actions minutes.
   • Scroll down and click the Create repository button at the bottom of the form.
3. After your new repository is created, wait about 20 seconds, then refresh the page. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the new repository's README.

[Bug] Action in step 3 failing due to search string not found.

Summary

Action in step 3 failing due to search string not found.

How to reproduce

1. Go to '.github/workflows/'
2. Click on '3-customize-codespace.yml '
3. Scroll down to 'line 62'
4. Validation Expecting "postCreateCommand" in ".devcontainer/devcontainer.json"
5. Instructions in Readme to create and update devcontainer.json do not have the string "postCreateCommand", so the action to go to next step fails.

Additional context

Just by including "postCreateCommand" with blank command let the action pass to next step.

[Bug] Step 0 workflow not being triggered

Summary

When I create a repository from template by following the instructions on the README, the README does not update itself after refreshing the page after 20 seconds. In investigating the cause, I noticed that there was not execution for the Step 0 workflow in the 'Actions' tab. This is a consequence of the type of trigger being used (create instead of push).

I did notice one exception to this that is if the user selects the check box 'Include all branches', which also creates a branch besides 'main' during repository creation and thus runs the workflow. However, this checkbox is not selected by default and I suspect it would not trigger the automation if at any point there are no other branches besides 'main'.

How to reproduce

1. Follow the steps on the README for creating repository from template.
2. Notice the README will not be changed after 20 seconds.

[Bug] Using 'setup.sh' in step 4 doesn't work

Summary

Using a file named 'setup.sh' in step 4 does not work to initiate installation of dotfiles (or, as this course has it, the sl steam locomotive).

How to reproduce

1. Follow the course to step 4.
2. Create setup.sh with the sudo apt-get lines, as instructed.
3. Create a new Codespace, as instructed.
4. Wait while the Codespace is set up.
5. Try running /usr/games/sl
6. See the following error.

bash: /usr/games/sl: No such file or directory

Expected results and acceptance criteria

• echo $PATH should contain /usr/games.
  • One way this can be achieved is by adding export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games >> ~/.bashrc to devcontainer.json under postCreateCommand.
• Running sl from the home directory should work.

Additional context

I found that instead by using a file named 'install.sh', as documented in Personalize your codespaces#Dotfiles, during my "How to reproduce" step 4 (i.e., "Wait while the Codespace is set up.") I saw an "Installing Dotfiles" progress indicator in the terminal area.

Feature description

Hi! In the reviews for the iOS app, you asked me to write to the mail. The reviews were:

The best of ssh apps!
I would also like to be able to reduce the font on the session selection screen. It doesn't fit enough. And add the ability to leave only session recognition on this screen, without login@host data.

Developer's Response
,
Hello MrakoMaks 👋
Thank you so much for your review 🙏
I understand the fact you need to reduce the font size on the selection screen. I will make an improvement.
Could you explain me further your second request?
You can contact me at : team {AT] webssh (DOT} net
Have a nice day ☀️

I meant the following:

Now we see each host as two strings, a Name and a Host. Perhaps for someone it may be redundant as well as for me. Having the ability to change this in the settings would be another plus)
I'm sorry for the bad English.

Have a nice day :)

Best regards,
