Build with Gitpod
A step-by-step tutorial for getting started and learning how to configure Gitpod. By the end of this tutorial, you will learn everything you need to Gitpodify™ your own projects and start using Gitpod as your development environment.
Prerequisites
- Create a Gitpod Account - Use GitLab, GitHub or Bitbucket to authenticate.
- Use our free plan for 50 hours per month for free.
- For more hours you can choose a plan.
- A basic understanding of React, Node.js (Express) and PostgreSQL.
What are we building?
For this tutorial, we will Gitpodify the EventHub project. An example application where you can submit new events. It uses React for the front-end, Node.js with Express for the back-end, and PostgreSQL for the database.
Here’s the final .gitpod.yml
configuration that we’ll build together:
For this tutorial, we’ll focus on VS Code in the Browser as a simple way to get started. However, Gitpod supports many editors like VS Code Desktop, JetBrains, SSH, to suit your needs. You can change editors when you create workspaces.
