1.5. GitHub Codespaces

GitHub’s Codespaces is a great way to open a repository in a customized developement container. In this lab we’ll do the Codespaces Quckstart. After you clone the class repository you will redo these steps on your own copy of the class code.

The Class Starter Code Repository

This class has some starter code that I wrote in a GitHub repository. Visit my repo by following the link below:

• https://github.com/mike-matera/cis-92

Once there press the green “Code” button and start a Codespace in my repo. Next week you’ll make a copy of this repository for yourself (called a fork) that you can update as you do the project.

Authenticate to Google

Each time you create a new Codespace you have to use the glcoud command to authenticate to Google. This command will present you with a URL that will take you to a login prompt on your browser:

$ gcloud auth login

Follow the instructions.
