# Configure the Gitpod development environment
To contribute code without the overhead of setting up a local development environment,
you should use Gitpod.
## Use Gitpod to contribute without a local environment setup
Set aside about 15 minutes to launch the GDK in Gitpod.
1. [Launch the GDK in Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/#https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab/-/tree/master/).
1. Select **Continue with GitLab** to start a Gitpod environment for this fork.
1. If this is your first time using Gitpod, create a free account and connect it
to your GitLab account:
1. Select **Authorize** when prompted to **Authorize Gitpod.io to use your account?**.
1. On the **Welcome to Gitpod** screen, enter your name and select whether you would like
to **Connect with LinkedIn** or **Continue with 10 hours per month**.
1. Choose the `Browser` version of VS Code when prompted to **Choose an editor**.
1. Continue through the settings until the **New Workspace** screen.
1. On the **New Workspace** screen, before you select **Continue**:
- Leave the default repository URL: `gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab/-/tree/master/`.
- Select your preferred **Editor**.
The examples in this tutorial use Visual Studio Code (VS Code) as the editor,
sometimes referred to as an integrated development environment (IDE).
- Leave the default **Class**: `Standard`.
1. Wait a few minutes for Gitpod to launch.
You can begin exploring the codebase and making your changes after the editor you chose has launched.
1. You will need to wait a little longer for GitLab to be available to preview your changes.
When the GitLab GDK is ready, the **Terminal** panel in Gitpod will return
a URL local to the Gitpod environment:
```shell
=> GitLab available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.
```
Select the `http://127.0.0.1:3000` to open the GitLab development environment in a new browser tab.
1. After the environment loads, sign in as the default `root` user and
follow the prompts to change the default password:
- Username: `root`
- Password: `5iveL!fe`
After the Gitpod editor is ready, continue to [Change the code with Gitpod](contribute-gitpod.md).
