HTTPS support for environment services via port sharing

You can now expose environment services over HTTPS using Gitpod’s port sharing feature. This enables secure communication with applications running in your environment, which is ideal for testing HTTPS-only setups or integrating with services requiring encrypted transport.

What’s new?

• UI integration: Select https as the protocol in the port sharing dialog
• CLI support: Use --protocol https with gitpod environment port open to expose environment service ports securely.

Use cases:

• Applications with HTTPS-only redirects or policies
• Streaming APIs requiring secure connections

See port sharing documentation for setup instructions.
