"GitHub Codespaces provides full development environments in your browser, and is free to use with anyone with a GitHub account. Each environment has a full Linux container and a browser-based UI using VS Code.

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 includes dozens of models from OpenAI, Microsoft, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek, Meta and more.

Anthony Shaw's llm-github-models plugin for my LLM tool allows it to talk directly to GitHub Models. I filed a suggestion that it could pick up that GITHUB_TOKEN variable automatically and Anthony shipped v0.18.0 with that feature a few hours later.

... which means you can now run the following in any Python-enabled Codespaces container and get a working llm command:"

Oh joy, another riveting piece on the absolutely thrilling world of base images, because everyone knows reading about #Docker is just as exciting as watching paint dry. 😴🔧 Apparently, #GitHub thinks if they cram enough #buzzwords like "Copilot" and "Codespaces" in there, you'll forget that what you're really doing is reinventing the digital wheel. 🚀💻

Spin up a #cloud based #development environment that emulates #GitHub #Codespaces. We define the environment using the devcontainer.json spec and establish a secure tunnel to mount your local file system on a remote server. This setup runs on #Hetzner Cloud, starts in under 5 minutes, and costs less than one-sixth the price of GitHub Codespaces. devcontainer.community/2025021

Pre-commit Hooks in GitHub Codespaces for Terraform IaC

These hooks serve as an early defense against common issues, ensuring code quality and consistency before changes are committed to version control.

Today, we are going to discuss pre-commit with GitHub Codespaces.

How would a current code environment for Python backend Developer look like?

Would you put your whole Environment on your local notebook? Like a hell-expensive MacBook with 64 GB of memory to just run Elastic/OpenSearch, a relational Database, Redis and Uvicorn as well as IDE and Browser and stuff?

Or would anyone use a cloud instance for every developer for Elastic/OS + MySQL + Redis?

Or would anyone use something like Githubs Codespace and completely work in the cloud?

Im unsure what is the best way to give developers the right tools for their job.

Any suggestions?

Am I using #Github #Codespaces wrong?

I thought the point of creating a devcontainer.json file to specify extra bits have built when you set up a machine, and they were honoured on the creation of codespaces.

Given that #Gitpod seems to be adopting #devcontainer now, I figured I'd try Codespaces. A basic thing seems to be harder than I thought.

If you have direct experience building Codespaces, would you share a pointer on how to fix this seemingly basic thing?
