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

HTML & CSS in Gitpod

Gitpod has great HTML and CSS support. In fact, Gitpod was made with web development in mind. And, depending on your needs, you may want to customize this experience further!

Example Repositories

Here are a few HTML/CSS example projects that are already automated with Gitpod:

Repository Description Try it
Front-End-Checklist The perfect Front-End Checklist for modern websites and meticulous developers Open in Gitpod
Devhints TL;DR for developer documentation - a ridiculous collection of cheatsheets Open in Gitpod

emmet  Support

emmet demo Gitpod comes with emmet support right out of the box giving you access to powerful snippets and completions

Live Preview

Live Preview Demo With Gitpod you can open a preview for HTML files while you are coding. You can do this by opening a web server python -m http.server 8000.

You can also automate this in your .gitpod.yml file, so that every time you start a new workspace your preview is ready to go. For example:

language icon yml
tasks:
    - name: Start web server
      init: python -m http.server 8000

ports:
    - port: 8000
      onOpen: open-preview

Try It!
