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](/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/adding-a-file-to-a-repository)" and "[Adding a file to a repository using the command line](/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/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 {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_codespaces }} for your project](/github/developing-online-with-codespaces/configuring-codespaces-for-your-project)."
