Developing with Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces is a cloud development environment using Visual Studio Code in your browser. This is a convenient way to start developing Astropy, using our dev container <.devcontainer/devcontainer.json>_ configured with the required packages. For help, see the GitHub Codespaces docs <https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces>_.
