From YouTube: GitLab Workspaces - SSH Connectivity

Description

This is a new feature that we just merged that allows you to connect to your workspace using your local VS Code instance.

A

Hi everyone uh I wanted to talk to you about a feature that we just released, which is SSH connectivity for workspaces. So today in gitlab workspaces, you can go ahead and click on any link and be navigated to that workspace in the browser, and that opens up your workspace. You can explore your main.go file or whatever repository you cloned from essentially- and this is a very sort of a simple go example that I've cloned now with this with this change. Now what you can do is you can connect using your local IDE instance.

A

So you could connect to your remote workspace with your local IDE instance. So what I'm going to do is connect my local vs code to the workspace I'm going to go ahead and copy. My workspace name, I'm, going to go to vs code and say I want to start a new remote connection or specify my workspace name and also my hostname for SSH.

A

And then, once that's done, it's going to go ahead and set up the host. Now. What it's asking me is for my personal access token that I'll have to enter here in order to get access to my workspace, so I've copied my remote and my personal access token now I've gonna go ahead and hit enter.

A

That should then connect up to my workspace and now it's connected. As you see here, it's connected to the workspace I can go ahead and open the folder with the code. So that's in the projects directory, um and you can see this example which I had open up. There is here as well.

A

And uh if I say see, my main.go file is the same as what I saw in my remote development environment of the browser. So now you have uniform environment, you can access it using vs code locally or you can access it using the browser-based vs code. Thank you.
