About codespace creation

{% data reusables.codespaces.codespaces-are-personal %}

{% data reusables.codespaces.codespaces-are-per-branch %} {% data reusables.codespaces.concurrent-codespace-limit %} For more information, see "Deleting a codespace."

{% data reusables.codespaces.unsupported-repos %}

You cannot create a codespace in an empty repository. If your repository is empty, create a file in the repository before creating a codespace. For more information, see "Adding a file to a repository" and "Adding a file to a repository using the command line."

The environment of the codespace you create will be based on the repository's configuration. For more information, see "Configuring {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} for your project."

{% data reusables.codespaces.about-personalization %} For more information, see "Personalizing {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %} for your account."
