AI is truly here [Codespaces check-in]

[otter-computer]

Welcome back to to the latest Codespaces check-in! AI seems to be the new, hot thing in tech this week so I thought I'd do something different and let the new Bing AI have a go at introducing this post. Take it away, Bing:

🤖 Hey there, welcome to another check-in on GitHub Codespaces. If you haven’t heard of it yet, Codespaces is a cool way to code, collaborate, and create from any GitHub repo. It’s like having your own dev box in the cloud. In this post, we’re going to highlight some of the questions and answers that our awesome community has shared on Discussions. Sounds good? Let’s dive in!

Community Solves 🧠

• To kick us off this week, a huge thanks to @langri-sha for coming back to answer their own question about running out of storage space on their Codespace, solved by clearing out some old Docker build caches.

• Thanks to @aaronrubinstein for coming back to report a workaround for port forwarding issues they were facing when using vite. Anyone else finding this post in future will appreciate it 🙏

Wow, that's interesting! 🤯

• Our very own @eljog solved this interesting question from @TheLarkInn about how to check a Codespace's name and email settings to check for compliance.

• This is an old question about using workspaceFolder inside a devcontainer.json. @OneCyrus asked for an update on this support and @jkeech reported that this is now a supported feature 🎉

• @PancakePuncher asked a question about Pylint errors in their workspace, though the most interesting part is how they solved the question: They used ChatGPT to debug the issue and found that Pylint was looking at an incorrect directory. The future is wild 🤖

That's all for this week, and here's a goodbye from Bing:

🤖 That’s all for this time, folks. I hope you enjoyed this check-in on GitHub Codespaces and learned something new. If you have any questions or feedback about Codespaces, feel free to join the discussion or start a new one in the community . See you for the next one! 😊
