Gitpod. The better way to run Mojo remotely

Here I will describe my work to configure Gitpod for mojo in the simplest way.

After Fork the mojo repo. and before (instead of) creating a GitHub workspace: - In the root of the repo, create a file called .gitpod.yml with this content:

    # List the start-up tasks. Learn more: https://www.gitpod.io/docs/configure/workspaces/tasks
    tasks:
      - name: Install Modular & Mojo
        before: |
          eval $(command gp env -e)
        command: |
          curl https://get.modular.com | MODULAR_AUTH=$MODULAR_AUTH sh -
          modular install mojo
          echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/home/gitpod/.modular"' >> ~/.zshrc
          echo 'export PATH="/home/gitpod/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
          source ~/.zshrc
    
    vscode:
      extensions:
        - "modular-mojotools.vscode-mojo"
        - "ms-python.python"

    # List the start-up tasks. Learn more: https://www.gitpod.io/docs/configure/workspaces/tasks
    tasks:
      - name: Install Modular & Mojo
        before: |
          eval $(command gp env -e)
        command: |
          curl https://get.modular.com | MODULAR_AUTH=$MODULAR_AUTH sh -
          modular install mojo
          echo 'export MODULAR_HOME="/home/gitpod/.modular"' >> ~/.zshrc
          echo 'export PATH="/home/gitpod/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
          source ~/.zshrc
    
    vscode:
      extensions:
        - "modular-mojotools.vscode-mojo"
        - "ms-python.python"

Also, create the folder and file .vscode/setting.json with this content:

    {
      "mojo.modularHomePath": "/home/gitpod/.modular"
    }

    {
      "mojo.modularHomePath": "/home/gitpod/.modular"
    }

and commit your changes. 1. Go to Gitpod and log in with your GitHub account. 1. Go to Projects 1. Create a Project by selecting your forked repo. 1. Click on Enable Prebuilds 1. Mark the checkbox Enable Prebuilds 1. You are in the General tab in the sidebar. Go to Variables 1. Create an env variable called MODULAR_AUTH with your auth token as value. (You can get it from the SDK installation page). 1. You are in the Horizontal tab Settings. Go to Branches 1. Over the branch examples click on the actions icon button (the three dots) and Run Prebuild 1. Once this is Ready, click on the button New Workspace 1. Now you have the most powerful remote machine to work with Mojo.
