GitHub’s engineering team has moved to Codespaces

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.

I think this defeats the purpose of Codespaces, because it would mean that all the code runs locally and only thing that remote server provides is storage?
