Customizing workspace components

To customize workspace components:

  • Choose a Git repository for your workspace.

  • Use a devfile that meets the latest devfile 2 specification. See Devfile User Guide.

  • Select and customize your in-browser IDE.

  • Add Che specific attributes in addition to the generic devfile specification.
