Description

Context

We now offer a new option: Local SSH to access your workspaces with VS Code Desktop. This method leverages the stored Gitpod session in VS Code Desktop for authentication, providing an additional layer of security.

But it Needs to Modify SSH Config File

To make VS Code Desktop open seamlessly we will add a single entry to your local SSH configuration. Gitpod does not read any of your existing SSH configurations.

Changes are made:

  1. Creating a new file ~/.ssh/code_gitpod.d/config and inserting our settings.
  2. Updating your ssh config file ~/.ssh/config to import the file created in step one. This will include grouping Include "code_gitpod.d/config" statement under the header ## START GITPOD INTEGRATION.
