Gitpod Open Sources a ‘Holistic IDE’Category: Kubernetes, Docker, github, gitlab, automation, yaml, bitbucket
Gitpod this week has released an open source version of its integrated developer environment (IDE), which it is calling “a new class of cloud-based IDE that fundamentally changes how software developers build applications.” When you hear the phrase IDE, you might think of a code editor like Visual Studio Code or Eclipse or Sublime, but with Gitpod, “IDE” refers to that environment in a more all-encompassing sense, explained Gitpod co-founder and CEO Sven Efftinge.
And much like how changes to code can be referenced and reverted to in a version control system, each developer environment can be saved as a snapshot, which can help with troubleshooting.
You can snapshot any state that you have in your dev environment, and then you get a link that gets a clone of this environment, this concrete situation.”
Gitpod also allows specific software versions to coincide with certain environment versions, meaning if you need to work on old code, you can use the environment that is compatible with it.
