how_to |
On the settings page, you can set your editor preference so that when you create a codespace, or open an existing codespace, it is opened in your choice of:
- The {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} desktop appliction
- The {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} web client
- The JetBrains Gateway application
If you want to use {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} as your default editor for {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}, you need to install {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} and the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} extension for {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}. For more information, see the download page for {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} and the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} extension on the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} marketplace.
If you want to work on a codespace in a JetBrains IDE you must install the JetBrains Gateway. For more information, see "Using Codespaces in your JetBrains IDE."
Setting your default editor
{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.codespaces-tab %}
-
Under "Editor preference", select the option you want.
-
If you choose {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} will automatically open in the desktop application when you next create or open a codespace.
You may need to allow access to both your browser and {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} for it to open successfully.
-
If you choose JetBrains Gateway, the Gateway application will automatically open when you next create or open a codespace.
The first time you open a codespace this way you must give permission to open the application.
The Gateway application will open and the codespace will then be automatically selected. You can then choose a JetBrains IDE, if you have not previously done so, and click Connect to open the codespace in the JetBrains client. For more information, see "Using Codespaces in your JetBrains IDE."
