GitHub’s engineering team has moved to Codespaces

How does it work when you work on several packages at once,e.g. a lib and an app using it? Is it a monorepo, do you configure both dependencies to be locally editable copies, etc.? For example patching an upstream open source project that is a blocker for your app.

You can also create a separate codespace for each package if they’re independent of each other and you don’t need to test things in the downstream repo in a way that requires your changes being available “locally”.

The codespace is backed by a regular Linux VM, so we can clone the upstream repo and edit/compile/debug/etc in that just like we would locally on our laptops and workstations.
