The most efficient way to customize your Codespace is using the .devcontainer.json file. It allows you to define the environment's configuration, including VS Code extensions, editor settings, and even startup scripts, Use "forwardPorts" to automatically expose your application's ports, facilitating access to your development server. To share this customization with your team, simply add the .devcontainer folder (containing the .devcontainer.json file) to your Git repository and push it. Because it's part of the repository, anyone who opens a Codespace from that project will automatically have the same environment configured, ready to use 👍 |
