TL;DR this only lets you edit files, not actually run commands since there’s no underlying container (unless you pay by the minute for Github Codespaces).

This is in contrast to WebContainers which launched a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27223012) and enables VS Code to run entirely in-browser (including terminal commands) using a WebAssembly based operating system.
