Configuring a codespace for {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}
A codespace, created with {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}, can be customized through a new tool called devinit, a command line tool included with {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}.
devinit
devinit lets you install additional frameworks and tools into your Windows development codespaces, modify environment variables, and more.
devinit supports a configuration file called devinit.json. You can add this file to your project if you want to create a customized and repeatable development environment. When you use devinit with a devcontainer.json file, your codespaces will be automatically configured on creation.
For more information about Windows codespace configuration and devinit, see Customize a codespace in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} documentation. For more information about devinit, see Getting started with devinit.
