docs/data/reusables/codespaces/creating-a-codespace-in-vscode.md

After you connect your account on {% data variables.product.product_location %} to the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} extension, you can create a new codespace. For more information about the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} extension, see the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs_marketplace_shortname %} marketplace.

{% note %}

Note: Currently, {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} doesn't allow you to choose a dev container configuration when you create a codespace. If you want to choose a specific dev container configuration, use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} web interface to create your codespace. For more information, click the Web browser tab at the top of this page.
