What Is GitHub CodeSpaces?
It was launched by GitHub a while ago
GitHub Codespaces is an instant, cloud-based development environment that uses a container to provide you with common languages, tools, and utilities for development. GitHub Codespaces is also configurable, allowing you to create a customized development environment for your project.
You can use Visual Studio, VS Code, Jupyter, or JetBrains with the editor, terminal, debugger, version control, settings sync, and all of your extensions. Work from any device in a browser, or you can run it in your local machine.
Benefits Of GitHub CodeSpaces
You can use bigger RAM or disk space that your local environment (your PC) does not have.
It is fast
You get all the features of an editor (including the terminal). You can install extensions sync your local setting to it.
Works seemlessly with GitHub

Hi there, we encourage authors to share their entire posts here on DEV, rather than mostly pointing to an external link. Doing so helps ensure that readers don’t have to jump around to too many different pages, and it helps focus the conversation right here in the comments section.
If you choose to do so, you also have the option to add a canonical URL directly to your post.
Thanks for the heads up
