Just got my beta access to GitHub Codespaces (online VS code in GitHub). Codespaces allows for choosing a container to run in - but while there’s already lot’s of pre-built containers for Python, Java, Perl, Ruby, etc. there isn’t one for Julia yet.
Should we contribute one? I guess we can just do a PR on https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers .
There was a .devcontainer file in the Julia repository. See Compile Julia from source with ease in VS Code (even on Windows!) for instructions on connecting to various VS code instances. I am not sure if the process is the same for github codespaces.
We also already have support for Codespaces in the Yggdrasil repository (also provided by David!), which can be a good alternative for Windows users that can’t run BinaryBuilder locally.
Oh, nice, that looks very straightforward.
I get the following error in Codespaces, when trying to work on the Julia repo:
How can I fix this?
