On Dashboard have a button to open a blank workspace
It would be nice and fast to be able to open a blank workspace kind of the equivalent of a Dockerfile that just says
FROM gitpod/workspace-full:latest
A button on the dashboard that just opens a snapshot of a blank workspace could be very useful for anyone wanting to do some quick development.
What is a blank workspace? You need a github repo to be based on. Maybe you can create an emply repo with just one readme and favorite the url gitpod.io#<path/to/your/repo>
Or you can just favorite this link that is basically a n empty workspace for that particular purpose maintained by 4GeeksAcademy.
Same here. What if I want to start a new, blank project instead of pulling from an existing repository? I don't want to have to use a template to start every single project.
Hey everyone!
Using a starter template or a blank project is one thing that still sounds useful.
FYI, we're currently working on Teams & Projects which will allow adding your own project and configuring .gitpod.yml and Dockerfile which could help resolve the problem described in this issue. The plan it to release this end of next month (Jul 2021). 🗺️

When I wrote this request, I think I was making a lot of Gitpods and copying over working .gitpod.yml files and .gitpod.Dockerfile was irritating. An easy to start blank Gitpod could be kind of useful. Glad Gitpod is looking into it.

Any update on this?
Would love a "blank-template" in the template section. Make things a lot easier!
Hey everyone, adding a small update here: We're currently considering adding a way to start a new workspace and create a new repository by cloning a template in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/5583. 💡
FWIW, Adding a blank template could be an option we could add later there. Cc @ciurte-freelance @mteam88
Regarding Teams & Projects, this is currently in preview (see https://github.com/gitpod-io/roadmap/issues/8) and we're planning to make it available to everyone in the next couple of weeks. However, we're also looking for community members who would love to try it and provide some early feedback on this. Let me know if anyone is interested in trying this sooner so I can enable the feature flag for you. Cc @thaysom22
@thaysom22 @gtsiolis I am always good to try new stuff. I also post on twitter as @rocksetta
@hpssjellis I've enabled Teams & Projects for your account. Feel free to take a look and provide any feedback (see https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/5095). 🙏

Could someone mark this as never stale? This is a pretty useful feature to have.
@djsnipa1 if they do add you and you can figure it out can you tell me how. When I tried, I was confused by all the requirements for accessing my github, eventually gave up.
Hi @djsnipa1 @hpssjellis, based on the conversation so far, I don't think this feature is out just yet. Please hang tight! We'll be sure to update you folks here once it's ready.
@pawlean, It's already passed almost 3 years! and it staled 2 times 😞
I can see that. Thank you for your continued patience 🙏🏼 As you can imagine, there are so many awesome things we want to implement in Gitpod to make it a great product for you all 🎉 I've pinged the team responsible for this feature request to prioritise, but as I said, there are so many other things as well that we'd like to implement. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, I recommend this workflow. It's the one I use right now when I want to create a new blank workspace:
- Create a new repo on GitHub
- Install the Gitpod Browser extension
- In the new repo, click the "Open in Gitpod" button
- ✨ Your shiny new, empty repo is now available in Gitpod ✨
Let me know what you think about that workaround. It's not as ideal as this initial request but could be a workaround.
Easy 'hack' for this would be if Gitpod just creates an empty repository so we could do gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gitpod-io/empty :D

But you would still have to fork the repo to make it "yours". This seems like an extra step!

Hey, you can try with input gitpod.new in your browser, SUPER HANDY 🎉 !!
(it will forward to https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gitpod-io/empty)
@iQQBot Thanks for telling me this

That's pretty useful! Doesn't have the convenience of already having remotes configured though...
