Introducing GitHub Codespaces
- [Instructor] In this course, I'll be using the Codespaces environment. Codespaces is usually thought of as a cloud-based development environment and code editor, a version of Visual Studio Code running on the web. But also behind the scenes, it runs on a Linux container, which is kind of like a Linux Virtual Machine though it's different in some important ways. Why is that relevant? Because using Codespaces gives us a Linux system we can use to work with and learn Bash. Rather than setting up our own Linux system or Linux VM, Codespaces provides one for us. It also provides a terminal, and guess what? We also get that text editor for free. So I recommend that you follow this course using the Codespaces environment because it'll probably be the easiest setup option. Next, we'll hear from my colleague, Ray, who will demonstrate the basics of working with Codespaces, and then I'll be back to cover some specifics of using Codespaces for this course.
