About GitHub Codespaces
GitHub Codespaces runs configured development environments in the cloud and opens them straight from a repository or pull request on GitHub. Because the environment lives on GitHub's servers, you can code from any device with internet access, including an iPad, without setting up tools locally.
Environments are pre-configured, so new contributors can start without building a local setup, and a shared environment helps with collaboration. A free starting tier is offered, with sales contact for larger organisations.
