Managing Development Environments: Local Machine vs. GitHub Codespaces Since I don’t really do development on a regular basis, especially not for my day-to-day at work, I find that one of the most annoying parts of picking up projects is getting environments set up, making sure libraries are up-to-date if needed and managing any environment variables and secrets to 3rd party services. So this post really is me capturing the patterns I’ve used and find the most useful so I can refer to them in the future (instead of fumbling through half-written notes in Obsidian).
