About Codespaces in Visual Studio Code
You can use your local install of Visual Studio Code to create, manage, work in, and delete codespaces. To use Codespaces in Visual Studio Code, you need to install the Acerca de GitHub Codespaces extension. For more information on setting up Codespaces in Visual Studio Code, see "Prerequisites."
By default, if you create a new codespace on GitHub.com, it will open in the browser. If you would prefer to open any new codespaces in Visual Studio Code automatically, you can set your default editor to be Visual Studio Code. For more information, see "Setting your default editor for Codespaces."
If you prefer to work in the browser, but want to continue using your existing Visual Studio Code extensions, themes, and shortcuts, you can turn on Settings Sync. For more information, see "Personalizing Codespaces for your account."
Prerequisites
To develop in a codespace directly in Visual Studio Code, you must install and sign into the Acerca de GitHub Codespaces extension with your GitHub credentials. The Acerca de GitHub Codespaces extension requires Visual Studio Code October 2020 Release 1.51 or later.
Use the Visual Studio Marketplace to install the Acerca de GitHub Codespaces extension. For more information, see Extension Marketplace in the Visual Studio Code documentation.
