Watch a 5 minutes walkthrough video:

Prerequisites:

1. Sign up for gitpod.io

Try it out:

1. Click on the following link https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/shaal/ddev-gitpod
2. Your environment is being prepared, wait about 40 seconds (A splash screen will appear)
3. VScode IDE will be displayed, a few seconds later you will see Umami demo.
4. Run in terminal ddev xdebug on
5. Open VScode's debugger, place a new breakpoint in web/index.php

Do you like PhpStorm instead of Theia or VScode?

1. Open a bash window at the bottom
2. .ddev/run-phpstorm.sh

How does it work?

1. Gitpod - development environment based on Docker
   1. .gitpod.yml
      1. Defines the main docker image this environment is built on - .gitpod.Dockerfile
      2. Run prebuild commands:
         1. Start ddev
         2. Run composer install
         3. Install Umami demo website
   2. .gitpod.Dockerfile
      1. Set base image to Gitpod's workspace-full (link)
      2. Install ddev using brew
2. ddev - ridiculously simple setup for complex development environments, allows developers working locally or working with Gitpod in the cloud.
   1. .ddev/config.yaml - main ddev (default) configuration, can be generated by running ddev config

Thank you

@rfay for your endless patience and relentless support that made this project possible.

Persistent Storage:

• Gitpod backs up the state of the /workspace/ folder between workspace starts, so that you can revisit them later. Attention: Files in other locations will not be saved!
