## Summary Cognition (maker of Devin) rebranded the Windsurf Editor as Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026, after acquiring it from Codeium in July 2025. Our docs still referred to the editor as Windsurf and linked to a dead `codeium.com` domain. ## Changes - Renamed `docs/user-guides/workspace-access/windsurf.md` to `devin-desktop.md`, rewritten to lead with Devin Desktop branding, note the Codeium -> Windsurf -> Devin Desktop history, and use current links (`windsurf.com`, `docs.windsurf.com`) instead of dead `codeium.com` ones. - Updated `docs/manifest.json` and `docs/user-guides/workspace-access/index.md` to reference the new page. - Updated remaining Windsurf mentions to Devin Desktop in `docs/ai-coder/ide-agents.md`, `docs/ai-coder/index.md`, `docs/reference/glossary.md`, and `docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/clients/index.md`. - Added `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` to `.github/.linkspector.yml` ignore patterns; both rate-limit repeated automated requests with 429s (same class of issue as the `codeium.com`/`marketplace.visualstudio.com` fix in #28203). - Switched every module reference from `windsurf` to the new `devin-desktop` registry module (`docs/about/contributing/modules.md`, the three `get-started/customize-your-template/*.md` Terraform tutorials, and the main doc page's module link), since the new module actually renders `display_name = "Devin Desktop"` / `slug = "devin-desktop"` in the UI (the old `windsurf` module hardcodes "Windsurf Editor"). <details> <summary>Scope notes / sequencing</summary> The `devin-desktop` module referenced here is being added in [coder/registry#1050](https://github.com/coder/registry/pull/1050) (not yet merged/released). That PR is itself gated on [coder/coder#28214](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/28214) (whitelisting the `devin:` URI scheme) shipping in a released Coder version first. This docs PR can merge independently, the module link will 404 until #1050 is released, same as any docs-ahead-of-registry-release sequencing. The Terraform code samples now show `module "devin-desktop"` because that module's `display_name`/`slug` are properly parameterized (unlike `windsurf`, which hardcodes "Windsurf Editor"/`windsurf` regardless of what's passed in), so the docs stay accurate to the rendered UI. </details> ## Validation - `make lint` (docs lint, markdownlint, repo checks) passes. - Manually verified the new outbound links (`docs.windsurf.com`) return 200; `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` are rate-limited (429) from this environment too, hence the added ignore patterns. Stacked on #28203 (targets that branch so the diff here stays scoped to the rebrand; will retarget to `main` once #28203 merges). > 🤖 This PR was created with the help of Coder Agents, and needs a human review. 🧑💻

Learn how to use Coder Workspaces with IDEs and plugins to run coding agents like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin Desktop, RooCode, and more.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Coder Workspaces are full development environments that run on your cloud infrastructure, such as Kubernetes or AWS EC2. Developers can connect with their favorite IDEs with pre-configured extensions and configuration for agentic coding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Coder versus Local Development
|
|
|
|
Running coding agents in Coder workspaces provides several advantages over running them locally:
|
|
|
|
- **Fast, out-of-the-box setup**: LLMs, proxies, and MCP tools can be pre-configured for developers to use immediately, eliminating setup time and configuration hassles.
|
|
- **Consistent environments**: All developers use the same standardized environments, ensuring consistent access to tools and resources.
|
|
- **Resource optimization**: Leverage powerful cloud resources without taxing local machines.
|
|
- **Security and isolation**: Keep sensitive code, API keys, and secrets in controlled environments.
