Heads up! On October 1, we introduced Gitpod Flex. You can swap between documentation by using the switcher in the left navigation bar.

Browser Settings

For the best experience when working with Gitpod, we recommend you whitelist the .gitpod.io domain in your browser for the following permissions:

  • Paste content from your clipboard to a Gitpod workspace
  • Pop-ups, to preview your dev server in a new tab

Each browser handles this slightly differently:

Chrome

Clipboard

  1. Navigate to the Clipboard site permissions at chrome://settings/content/clipboard.
  2. To the right of the “Allowed to see your clipboard” heading, click the “Add” button.
  3. Paste [*.]gitpod.io in the Site field and click “Add”.

Pop-ups

  1. Navigate to the Pop-ups site permissions at chrome://settings/content/popups.
  2. To the right of the “Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects” heading, click the “Add” button.
  3. Paste [*.]gitpod.io in the Site field and click “Add”.

Edge

Clipboard

  1. Navigate to the Clipboard site permissions at edge://settings/content/clipboard.
  2. To the right of the “Allow” heading, click the “Add” button.

Pop-ups
