Teams Toolkit for Codespaces

Using Teams Toolkit for App Development in Codespaces

Introduction

GitHub Codespaces is a cloud-based development environment for your GitHub projects that allows developers to develop and collaborate on code from anywhere, using a web browser or Visual Studio Code. With GitHub Codespaces, Teams Toolkit provides new "install-less" getting started experience for Teams app development, so you can quickly get started with a fully configured dev environment without spending time on local environment setup.

Prerequisites

Before getting started building Teams app with Codespaces, please make sure:

1. You have a GitHub account which will be used to create a Codespaces instance.
2. You have a M365 Account with sideloading permissions. You may find the setup instructions in the Prepare your Microsoft 365 tenant. If you don’t already have a Microsoft 365 account, you can register for a free one through the Microsoft 365 Developer Program.
