Devcontainer (development environment in the cloud) for GDevelop (beta)

A devcontainer is the configuration to run a cloud development environment, available remotely. This is notably used to run a GitHub Codespace. The advantage is that you can quickly experiment and do changes without installing anything on your computer.

⚠️ This development environment is in beta, and not everything is supported. This is useful for playing a bit with GDevelop codebase or to make quick changes. In particular, it's not possible to test your changes on GDJS because only the web-app can be launched.

It's recommended that you follow the usual README to get started, with development tools installed on your computer.

Start a GitHub workspace to work on GDevelop (beta)

  • Subscribe to the beta edition of GitHub workspace.
  • In the repository GitHub page, click Code and then choose Open with Codespaces.
  • Wait for the Codespace to load and Visual Studio Code to open.
  • When it's ready, open a terminal in Visual Studio Code.
  • Follow the usual README in newIDE to get started, like you would do on your own computer.
