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

Gitpod Desktop

Gitpod Desktop is the fastest and easiest way to run and recreate cloud development environments locally. It is currently available for Apple silicon users.

The benefits include:

  • Run Dev Containers locally, replacing Docker Desktop for local development optimized for Apple Silicon, providing native-like Linux development without the overhead.
  • One-click setup, full workload isolation, and the ability to “break it, forget it” - iterate quickly without fear of polluting your system.
  • Leverage your local machine’s resources for free
  • Easily share your configured environments across your team to benefit from the automation and standardization of cloud development environments on your own hardware.
  • Through Automation, get an optimized developer experience to launch environments and common development workflows through Gitpod Automations.
  • Stay productive with offline capability and built-in disaster recovery support, seamlessly switching between local and cloud development as needed.
