I played around with gitpod.io and tried to setup a .gitpod.yml for our website fiveandahalfstars.ninja.

Turns out the integration with a github-Organization can only be done by the original creator of the organization. Thanks to Ralf it now works.

With help from the excellent docs I was able to configure the workspace to always repair the .gradlew (Windows somehow loses the execute right ;) ) and build the project at startup.

Finally the most awesome feature: Starting a local preview of the generated site inside gitpod to see the final result. What a feature! Love it!

If you want to see the full configuration then head over to our github-repository
