# GitHub Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces provides a cloud-based development environment that can be launched directly from a repository, complete with a configured editor and terminal. It uses a configuration file, typically a `devcontainer.json`, to define the environment's tools, extensions, and dependencies. This lets developers start coding immediately in a consistent setup without needing to install anything locally.
