April 2019
Today we are happy to announce that we are moving out of beta. We want to thank all the beta testers who have provided great feedback. Gitpod wouldn’t be what it is without you! ❤️ You can read more about the announcement in the blog post. Besides a complete relaunch of the website and app, we have added some very exciting new features:GitHub App / Prebuilt Workspaces 🚀
We have been busy developing a new GitHub app, that once installed on your repository will prebuild your project on every push. On GitHub pull requests this is communicated through a status check.
Prebuilt Check on PR
Better localhost
Handling
When starting web servers in Gitpod, often times you need to explicitly make sure the dev server allows connections from non-localhost.
Starting today, you no longer need to worry about that. Gitpod now forwards the port locally and rewrites the host headers,
so that dev servers will be fine.
Better Go Support
Gitpod now directly uses Microsoft’s great Go support for VS Code.
VS Code Go Extension
Unlimited Hours
If you don’t feel comfortable with a time-based limit, you can now purchase the ‘Unlimited’ plan to use Gitpod as much as you like on public and private repositories. We also offer unlimited plans for teams, and for students the price for an unlimited plan is only 9$ or 8€.If you have created your account during the beta, i.e. before April 5th, you will be able to work on private repositories for free for another month, on us.You can check out the various pricing options on the website.
New Design 💄
As part of the launch, we have refreshed the design of Gitpod. The website and dashboard now use a new dark theme that we hope you’ll like, and the UI of the IDE is more closely matching the look of VS Code.
