Staff Reporter

Capellic's Stephen Musgrave recently penned a tutorial outlining the process of developing Drupal websites in a cloud-based environment using Gitpod, DDEV, Bitbucket, and hosting on Pantheon. The comprehensive guide, reflective of Capellic's chosen technology stack, provides a systematic walkthrough for Gitpod setup, Pantheon Terminus machine token creation, installation of a browser extension for streamlined Bitbucket integration, and DDEV configuration. Musgrave underscores the guide's applicability to GitLab and GitHub users and its adaptability for those not utilizing Storybook or Emulsify.

Reflecting on six months of experience with this configuration, the tutorial acknowledges imperfections while lauding its efficacy in seamlessly creating and restarting ephemeral workspaces. The tutorial culminates with instructions on Gitpod launch and merging changes into the main branch, marking the successful establishment of a cloud-based development environment for Drupal websites.
