The goal here is to make it easier to get started contributing to Node.js. Ongoing contributors will find something like this useful too, although there are limitations (such as it won't be useful for compiling Windows executables for testing).

Experience it now by going to https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/Trott/io.js (which is this PR up and running on my fork of this repository). If you have a GitPod account, you will get (in a matter of seconds) a development environment with a compiled version of the Node.js binary and artifacts in place so that recompiling small changes won't take much time either. People wishing to get started developing in Node.js core (and people wishing to not have to recompile after every V8 update, etc.) won't need to install the compilation tool chain and so on.

This will be very useful to have installed (even if only temporarily) for Grace Hopper Open Source Day.

This will probably require installing the GitPod app to this repository, so /ping @nodejs/tsc.

The changes look good and simple enough, but I thought that our goal was to enable prebuilds for GitHub codespaces.

I thought that our goal was to enable prebuilds for GitHub codespaces.

@targos I have arguments against such an approach, but if a conversation already happened, it's likely those arguments have been addressed. Is this in an issue somewhere?

My hope would be that we could land this and start using it immediately, and switch to (or add) another approach if a better (or more company-neutral) one becomes available. The advantages of using GitPod right now are:

  • We can start today if we wanted to. There is no additional work to be done aside from landing this PR and enabling the GitHub app. It's ready. (This is especially useful given the Open Source Day plans.) @danielleadams @fhinkel
  • Free for us.
  • Free tier for end users.
  • This is something we could stop doing at any time very easily.
  • Users do not need to install anything, not even an IDE. They can do everything in a browser. (But they don't have to. You can connect VS Code or whatever locally.)

Similar efforts:

Free for us.

Who is "us" ?

A PR: #40825

I have no intention to block this, (the easier it is for everyone to contribute, the better), but I'd like to understand what your arguments against Codespaces are, as I think a lot of time was already spent trying to set that up.

Node.js. You, me, the rest of the TSC, the OpenJS Foundation..... There's no cost for the node core repo to use this. (There are limitations of the free tier and we may run up against a limitation at some point, but getting started with this is certainly free, and it's worked OK for my fork.)

@targos That PR is an attempt to set up a vendor-neutral configuration file that could be used by CodeSpaces, GitPod, and presumably other vendors. If that PR lands, it would make this one obsolete when devcontainers.json support lands in GitPod. Until then, both files can live side-by-side.

The main concerns I have is that (IIUC) there is no free tier for open source projects like ours in Codespaces. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is outdated/incorrect or otherwise irrelevant to our situation.

I usually use GitPod. I have not built nodejs successfully at CodeSpace, the machine in CodeSpace is only 4 core, 8 GB RAM. it is very limited. So I will strong +1 for this pr.

👋 from Gitpod. Extending an ICMYI regarding our https://www.gitpod.io/blog/gitpod-for-opensource program which provides plan upgrades for open-source maintainers and key contributors. Members of the nodejs GitHub organisation are already are pre-approved and will receive their account upgrades automatically the next time a project is started on GitHub. If I missed anyone during the import (ie. GitHub user profile was private) or new folks have joined please put through an application (details in the blog post above).
