Overview
GitHub Codespaces and custom dotfiles
Add your dotfiles to any Codespace automatically
Customize any GitHub Codespace you create or use by automatically getting your dotfiles in there with no effort! You only need a GitHub repository that contains your dotfiles to get this feature enabled in any Codespace you work on
You also have the ability to have a setup.sh script that you can use to further customize how GitHub will add your dotfiles to your Codespace at creation time.
In this lesson you will learn:
- Configure a GitHub Codespace with dotfiles
- Create a repository with your own dotfiles
- Additional features you can try with dotfiles in Codespaces
