- Log into your OpenShift cluster with cluster-admin rights.
- From your command line, run the command:
dsc server:start
This will create an OpenShift Dev Spaces instance in the OpenShift namespace /project/openshift-devspaces (which will be created if it does not exist). When it is finished, the Dev Spaces URL will be returned.
Run a sample workspace
After logging in to your Dev Spaces instance, select any sample project.
Run a workspace for your own Git project
After logging in to your Dev Spaces instance, enter the Git Repo URL and click Create & Open. If your project does not already include a devfile.yaml, a default configuration will be loaded. To learn more about devfiles, see https://devfile.io/docs/devfile/2.1.0/user-guide/
