Using GitHub Codespaces

You can use GitHub Codespaces as an alternative to running the kit on your computer.

This avoids the need to install Node.js on your computer. Instead, you will run the kit in the cloud and edit the code in your web browser.

GitHub Codespaces is free for around 60 hours per month.
