Selecting a workspace IDE

The default in-browser IDE in a new workspace is Che Theia.

You can select another supported in-browser IDE by either method:

When you start a new workspace by visiting a URL, you can choose an IDE for that workspace by adding the che-editor parameter to the URL. See Selecting an in-browser IDE for a new workspace by using a URL parameter.
You can specify an IDE in the .che/che-editor.yaml file of the Git repository for all new workspaces that will feature a clone of that repository. See Specifying an in-browser IDE for a Git repository by using che-editor.yaml.
