Multiple repositories in a codespace

[jirizavadil]

Is there a way to add multiple repositories to a codespace?

Hey @jirizavadil, you can either enable a user level or org level setting to enable Codespaces have access to a single/multiple repos that you/your org owns.
Repository access for individual repos
Repository access for org owned repos

Does this help? :)

Should we expect authentication to work across multiple repos? I've got one repo open, and I'm trying to open the second one, but it's rejecting the SSH key.

EDIT: it works perfectly if you use gh repo clone myorg/project. Brilliant!

If you really need to have read/write access to many different repos, there is a workaround here. However, note that this does increase risk, so only use it with repositories you trust. Details: https://github.com/Chuxel/codespaces-multi-repo

Thank you @Chuxel, the multi-repo is exactly what i needed!

Super helpful responses, @Chuxel.

Does multi-root workspace work in devcontainer.json, or is there another way to implement this for codespaces?
