Is this available or implementable on Coder (automatic manifest)? Automatic Configuration If your GitHub repositories does not have a manifest to make a stack, Gitpod will attempt to make a stack based on what it understood about your codebase. However, for popular projects, a central repository on GitHub exists to configure a workspace automatically for them without the manifest file to be present.

We're working on something like this with devcontainers. Right now we've had a few people implement this themselves using our integrations. e.g. you can pipe the
coder_git_auth
resource to
github_file
and fetch a file from a repo, then read some basic stuff from it in Terraform. That flow is much more complex than we'd like OOTB though, so we're improving it by adding a simple template you can use that kinda just works.

That would be the only thing I would miss from GitPod and would like to get this feature. Do Coder also have something like the .gitpod.yml manifest too?
m
we've implemented this feature. it works pretty well and we are using coder in a Gitpod style as our workspaces gets definded by a coder.yaml file which relies inside the git repository.

nice, curious if you can share your implementation Any plans to open it?
m
Or perhaps contribute back to Coder
m
I dont think I can open this as this is intelectual property. Sorry for that. But other contribution are planned. So we're give also something back to the community in the future.
