Codespace logs

These logs contain detailed information about the codespace, the container, the session, and the VS Code environment. They are useful for diagnosing connection issues and other unexpected behavior. For example, the codespace freezes but the "Reload Windows" option unfreezes it for a few minutes, or you are randomly disconnected from the codespace but able to reconnect immediately.

1. If you are using GitHub Codespaces in the browser, ensure that you are connected to the codespace you want to debug.
2. Open the VS Code Command Palette (Shift+Command+P (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)) and type export logs. Select Codespaces: Export Logs from the list to download the logs.
3. Define where to save the zip archive of logs then click Save (desktop) or click OK (web).
4. If you are using GitHub Codespaces in the browser, right-click on the zip archive of logs from the Explorer view and select Download… to download them to your local machine.
