 When you want to work on a project, you can choose to create a new codespace or open an existing codespace. You might want to create a new codespace from a branch of your project each time you develop in {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} or keep a long-running codespace for a feature. For more information, see "[Creating a codespace](/codespaces/developing-in-codespaces/creating-a-codespace)."
