Overview
Gitpod Classic starts ephemeral, Docker-based Linux workspaces in the cloud from a .gitpod.yml file in the repository. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, supports prebuilds, and runs VS Code in the browser or editor. The project has been renamed Ona, and the README no longer recommends this version.
