Gitpod Reminders
To run a frontend (HTML, CSS, Javascript only) application in Gitpod, in the terminal, type:
python3 -m http.server
A blue button should appear to click: Make Public,
Another blue button should appear to click: Open Browser.
To run a backend Python file, type python3 app.py, if your Python file is named app.py of course.
A blue button should appear to click: Make Public,
Another blue button should appear to click: Open Browser.
In Gitpod you have superuser security privileges by default. Therefore you do not need to use the sudo (superuser do) command in the bash terminal in any of the backend lessons.
Other Template Features
-
The template now automatically installs MySQL instead of relying on the Gitpod MySQL image. The message about a Python linter not being installed has been dealt with, and the set-up files are now hidden in the Gitpod file explorer.
-
Added the Prettier code beautifier extension instead of the code formatter built-in to Gitpod.
-
The initialisation files now do not auto-delete. They will remain in your project. You can safely ignore them. They just make sure that your workspace is configured correctly each time you open it. It will also prevent the Gitpod configuration popup from appearing.
-
Added Eventyret's Bootstrap 4 extension. Type !bscdn in a HTML file to add the Bootstrap boilerplate.
