I did not understand that part. Every heavy Emacs or vim user have its own customizations of editor. How does it work with shared image?

The repo owner gets to define the base Docker image that’s used in the codespace. And then it also looks for a dotfiles repo under your user account, which you can use to install all of your personal customizations. You can see mine at https://github.com/dcreager/dotfiles

The codespaces can have their own dotfiles.

Just use an sshfs mount and a local editor.
> Visual Studio Code is great. It’s the primary tool GitHub.com engineers use to interface with codespaces. But asking our Vim and Emacs users to commit to a graphical editor is less great. If Codespaces was our future, we had to bring everyone along.
