GitHub Codespaces provides a free web-based development environment backed by a Linux container... and it turns out it also includes a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable that provides free API access to the GitHub Models collection of LLMs

... here it's running my LLM CLI utility
Screenshot of a GitHub Codespaces VS Code interface showing a README.md file for codespaces-llm repository. The file describes a GitHub Codespaces environment with LLM, Python 3.13, uv and the GitHub Copilot VS Code extension. It has a "Launch Codespace" button. Below shows a terminal tab with the command "llm 'Fun facts about pelicans'" which has generated output listing 5 pelican facts: 1. **Huge Beaks:** about their enormous beaks and throat pouches for scooping fish and water, some over a foot long; 2. **Fishing Technique:** about working together to herd fish into shallow water; 3. **Great Fliers:** about being strong fliers that migrate great distances and soar on thermals; 4. **Buoyant Bodies:** about having air sacs beneath skin and bones making them extra buoyant; 5. **Dive Bombing:** about Brown Pelicans diving dramatically from air into water to catch fish.

I received a question on YouTube about running a Quarto project in GitHub Codespaces. I wrote up how to do it, it was my first time using #Codespaces ever!

The key is @mickael.canouil.fr's quarto-codespaces repo 🔑 Works with #Python, #RStats, or #JuliaLang.

You can try that out yourself by launching a Codespace using this link:

I found out today that GitHub Codespaces come with a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable... and that token works as an API key for accessing LLMs in the GitHub Models collection, which …

If you host coding workshops of any kind, GitHub Codespaces is a really valuable tool

It can be really hard to get everyone set in their own environment and be on the same page and Codespaces just eliminates a lot of that work. It’s awesome

Há um tempo que utilizo CDE (Cloud Development Environment). Comecei no Codespaces, depois Gitpod.

Já usei CodeSandbox, Stackblitz (e ainda uso para coisas pequenas).

Ultimamente estou com Codespaces e Repl.it.

E por aí?

GitHub Codespaces provides a cloud-based dev environment but doesn't support graphical applications by default. Here, Ayodele shows you how to set up a virtual display server in your browser to run GUI apps right in Codespaces.

Github downtime since the Microsoft acquisition
This image is a line graph titled **"GitHub Average Uptime by Month"** covering a period from April 2016 to early 2026. A subtitle notes that "Codespaces and Copilot [are] excluded due to launch partway through dataset." The graph tracks availability percentages, with the y-axis ranging from **99.500%** to **100.000%**. ### Visual Overview * **The Line:** The data is plotted as a continuous line with colored dots at each monthly data point. * **The Trend:** * From **2016 to late 2018**, the line is almost perfectly flat at the **100.000%** mark, colored primarily in green. * Following a vertical dashed line labeled **"Microsoft Acquires GitHub"** (dated late 2018), the line becomes significantly more volatile. * From **2019 through 2026**, the line shows frequent, jagged drops, with several "dips" falling between **99.600%** and **99.800%**. * **Color Coding:** * **Green dots** indicate months with 100% or near-100% uptime. * **Yellow and Red dots/lines** are used for the more volatile period post-2019, highlighting the decrease in stability. ### Key Milestones * **Pre-Acquisition (2016 – Oct 2018):** Stability is represented as a consistent green line at the top of the chart. * **Post-Acquisition (Oct 2018 – 2026):** The graph shows a marked increase in downtime incidents. The lowest point on the graph occurs around **early 2023**, where uptime briefly drops near **99.500%**. * **Recent Data:** The volatility continues through the end of the chart in **early 2026**, showing frequent fluctuations between 99.8% and 99.95%.

+1 to Codespaces. Although, I'm pretty psyched about Quarto+wasm too, as you know. Both R (webr) and Py (pyodide) supported out of the box.
