๐งช The extension is currently in the Preview stage, so some hiccups are expected. Please help us to improve by submitting feedback!
This GitHub CLI extension allows you to bridge the network between a Codespace and your local machine, so the Codespace can reach out to any remote resource that is reachable from your machine. In other words, it uses your local machine as a network gateway to get to those resources.
For instance, if you are using a VPN client to connect to private enterprise network to access a database or any other remote resources, this extension enables you to use those private resources from within a Codespace.
This extension requires GitHub CLI version v2.8.0 and up. Please make sure to upgrade it.
If using GitHub CLI < 2.13.0 only. The extension relies on gh codespace ssh command to establish SSH tunnel to a Codespace. If you use GitHub CLI >=2.13.0 the SSH config is created automatically for all your Codespaces, otherwise follow SSH setup instructions.
If your Codespace uses a non-default image, ensure that both the GitHub CLI, openssh-server, and sudo are installed inside the codespace. Some distros need an ssh group too. Please see linux dependencies doc for per-distro instructions.
gh extension install github/gh-net
To start network forwarding from a Codespace to a local machine, run:
Note: on Windows, you need to use a command prompt launched with Administrator privileges.
Connection issues? Please see #9 and SSH setup doc for some of the known solutions.
The command will first open a Codespace selection dialog:
Select a codespace and press enter. The extension will connect to selected codespace and start forwarding network traffic:
There are two panels in the connected view of the extension:
NAT) shows the network address translation table for currently opened connections. For stateful protocols(e.g. TCP) the records are cleaned up automatically after a connection is closed, so the records will come and go as connections are established and teardown. For stateless protocols (e.g. UDP or ICMP) or unsuccessful TCP connections, the records are cleaned up after a delay; hence those may show up in the list for some time.DNS) shows the resolved DNS records, as hostname, record, and time-to-live (TTL) values.Press q or ctrl + c to stop the extension.
