+## Step 1: Create your first codespace and push code
+
+_Welcome to "Develop code using GitHub Codespaces and Visual Studio Code"! :wave:_
+
+**What's the big deal about using a codespace for software development?** A codespace is a development environment that's hosted in the cloud. You can customize your project for GitHub Codespaces by committing configuration files to your repository (also known as configuration-as-code), which creates a repeatable codespace configuration for all users of your project. Each codespace you create is hosted by GitHub in a Docker container that runs on a virtual machine. You can choose the type of machine you want to use depending on the resources you need.
+
+GitHub offers a range of features to help your development team customize a codespace to reach peak configuration and performance needs. For example, you can:
+
+- Create a codespace from your repository.
+- Push code from the codespace to your repository.
+- Use VS Code to develop code.
+- Customize the codespace with custom images.
+- Manage the codespace.
+
+To begin developing using GitHub Codespaces, you can create a codespace from a template or from any branch or commit in a repository. When you create a codespace from a template, you can start from a blank template or choose a template suitable for the work you're doing.
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Start a codespace
+
+**We recommend opening another browser tab to work through the following activities so you can keep these instructions open for reference.**
+
+1. Start from the landing page of your repository.
+1. Click the green **Code** button located in the middle of the page.
+1. Select the **Codespaces** tab in the box that pops up and then click the **Create codespace on main** button.
+
+   > Wait about 2 minutes for the codespace to spin itself up.
+   > **Note**: It's a virtual machine spinning up in the background.
+
+1. Verify your codespace is running. The browser should contain a VS Code web-based editor and a terminal should be present such as the below:
+   ![codespace1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26442605/207355196-71aab43f-35a9-495b-bcfe-bf3773c2f1b3.png)
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Push code to your repository from the codespace
+
+1. From inside the codespace in the VS Code explorer window, select the `index.html` file.
+1. Replace the **h1** header with the below:
+
+   ```html
+   <h1>Hello from the codespace!</h1>
+   ```
+
+1. Save the file.
+   > **Note**: The file should autosave.
+1. Use the VS Code terminal to commit the file change by entering the following commit message:
+
+   ```shell
+   git commit -a -m "Adding hello from the codespace!"
+   ```
+
+1. Push the changes back to your repository. From the VS Code terminal, enter:
+
+   ```shell
+   git push
+   ```
+
+1. Your code has been pushed to your repository!
+1. Switch back to the homepage of your repository and view the `index.html` to verify the new code was pushed to your repository.
+1. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) will automatically update to the next step.

+## Step 2: Add a custom image to your codespace!
+
+_Nice work! :tada: You created your first codespace and pushed code using VS Code!_
+
+You can configure the development container for a repository so that any codespace created for that repository will give you a tailored development environment, complete with all the tools and runtimes you need to work on a specific project.
+
+**What are development containers?** Development containers, or dev containers, are Docker containers that are specifically configured to provide a fully featured development environment. Whenever you work in a codespace, you are using a dev container on a virtual machine.
+
+A dev container file is a JSON file that lets you customize the default image that runs your codespace, VS code settings, run custom code, forward ports and much more!
+
+Let's add a `devcontainer.json` file and add a custom image.
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Add a .devcontainer.json file to customize your codespace
+
+1. Navigating back to your **Code** tab of your repository, click the **Add file** drop-down button, and then click `Create new file`.
+1. Type or paste the following in the empty text field prompt to name your file.
+
+   ```
+   .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
+   ```
+
+1. In the body of the new **.devcontainer/devcontainer.json** file, add the following content:
+
+   ```jsonc
+   {
+     // Name this configuration
+     "name": "Codespace for Skills!",
+     // Use the base codespace image
+     "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/universal:latest",
+
+     "remoteUser": "codespace",
+     "overrideCommand": false
+   }
+   ```
+
+1. Click **Commit changes** and then select **Commit changes directly to the `main` branch**.
+1. Create a new codespace by navigating back to the **Code** tab of your repository.
+1. Click the green **Code** button located in the middle of the page.
+1. Click the **Codespaces** tab on the box that pops up.
+1. Click the **Create codespace on main** button OR click the `+` sign on the tab. This will create a new codespace on the main branch. (Notice your other codespace listed here.)
+
+   > Wait about **2 minutes** for the codespace to spin itself up.
+
+1. Verify that your new codespace is running, as you did previously.
+
+   Note the image being used is the default image provided for GitHub Codespaces. It includes runtimes and tools for Python, Node.js, Docker, and more. See the full list here: https://aka.ms/ghcs-default-image. Your development team can use any custom image that has the necessary prerequisites installed. For more information, see [codespace image](https://aka.ms/configure-codespace).

+## Step 3: Customize your codespace!
+
+_Nice work! :tada: You created a codespace with a custom image!_
+
+You can customize your codespace by adding VS code extensions, adding features, setting host requirements, and much more.
+
+Let's customize some settings in the `devcontainer.json` file!
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Add customizations to the `devcontainer` file
+
+1. Navigate to the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` file.
+1. Add the following customizations to the body of the file before the last `}`.
+
+   ```jsonc
+    ,
+    // Add the IDs of extensions you want installed when the container is created.
+    "customizations": {
+        "vscode": {
+            "extensions": [
+                "GitHub.copilot"
+            ]
+        },
+        "codespaces": {
+            "openFiles": [
+                "codespace.md"
+            ]
+        }
+    }
+   ```
+
+1. Click **Commit changes** and then select **Commit changes directly to the `main` branch**.
+1. Create a new codespace by navigating to the landing page of your repository.
+1. Click the **Code** button located in the middle of the page.
+1. Click the **Codespaces** tab on the box that pops up.
+1. Ensure the number of active codespaces does not reach the maximum (typically 2). For more information, see [understanding the codespace lifecycle](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/getting-started/understanding-the-codespace-lifecycle).
+
+   > **Tip**: To stop an active codespace, click the **•••** next to **<span>&#x25cf;</span>Active** and select **Stop codespace** from the menu.
+   
+1. Click the **Create codespace on main** button.
+
+   > Wait about **2 minutes** for the codespace to spin itself up.
+
+1. Verify your codespace is running, as you did previously.
+1. The `codespace.md` file should show up in the VS Code editor.
+1. The `copilot` extension should show up in the VS Code extension list.
+
+   This will add a VS Code extension as well as open a file on start up of the codespace.
+
+Next lets add some code to run upon creation of the codespace!
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Execute code upon creation of the codespace
+
+1. Edit the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` file.
+1. Add the following postCreateCommand to the body of the file before the last `}`.
+
+   ```jsonc
+    ,
+    "postCreateCommand": "echo '# Writing code upon codespace creation!'  >> codespace.md"
+   ```
+
+1. Click **Commit changes** and then select **Commit changes directly to the `main` branch**.
+1. Create a new codespace by navigating to the landing page of your repository.
+1. Click the **Code** button located in the middle of the page.

+## Step 4: Personalize your codespace!
+
+_Nicely done customizing your codespace!_ :partying_face:
+
+When using any development environment, customizing the settings and tools to your preferences and workflows is an important step. GitHub Codespaces offers two main ways of personalizing your codespace: `Settings Sync` with VS Code and `dotfiles`.
+
+`Dotfiles` will be the focus of this activity.
+
+**What are `dotfiles`?** Dotfiles are files and folders on Unix-like systems starting with . that control the configuration of applications and shells on your system. You can store and manage your dotfiles in a repository on GitHub.
+
+Let's see how this works!
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Enable a `dotfile` for your codespace
+
+1. Start from the landing page of your repository.
+1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, and then click **Settings**.
+1. In the **Code, planning, and automation** section of the sidebar, click **Codespaces**.
+1. Under **Dotfiles**, select **Automatically install dotfiles** so that GitHub Codespaces automatically installs your dotfiles into every new codespace you create.
+1. Click **Select repository** and then choose your current skills working repository as the repository from which to install dotfiles.
+
+### :keyboard: Activity: Add a `dotfile` to your repository and run your codespace
+
+1. Start from the landing page of your repository.
+1. Click the **Code** button located in the middle of the page.
+1. Click the **Codespaces** tab on the box that pops up.
+1. Click the **Create codespace on main** button.
+
+   > Wait about **2 minutes** for the codespace to spin itself up.
+
+1. Verify your codespace is running. The browser should contain a VS Code web-based editor and a terminal should be present such as the below:
+
+   ![codespace1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26442605/207355196-71aab43f-35a9-495b-bcfe-bf3773c2f1b3.png)
+
+1. From inside the codespace in the VS Code explorer window, create a new file `setup.sh`.
+1. Enter the following code into the file:
+
+   ```bash
+   #!/bin/bash
+
+   sudo apt-get update
+   sudo apt-get install sl
+   echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/games" >> ~/.bashrc
+   ```
+
+1. Save the file.
+   > **Note**: The file should autosave.
+1. Commit the file changes. From the VS Code terminal enter:
+
+   ```shell
+   git add setup.sh --chmod=+x
+   git commit -m "Adding setup.sh from the codespace!"
+   ```
+
+1. Push the changes back to your repository. From the VS Code terminal, enter:
+
+   ```shell
+   git push
+   ```
+
+1. Switch back to the homepage of your repository and view the `setup.sh` to verify the new code was pushed to your repository.
+1. Close the codespace web browser tab.
+1. Click the **Create codespace on main** button.
+
+   > Wait about **2 minutes** for the codespace to spin itself up.
+
+1. Verify your codespace is running, as you did previously.
+1. Verify the `setup.sh` file is present in your VS Code editor.
+1. From the VS Code terminal, type or paste:
+
+   ```shell
+   sl
+   ```
+
+1. Enjoy the show!
+1. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) will automatically update to the next step.
