@Musab1258 I like how technical this article is so far.
Please fix this so that i can continue to test the Setting up a Development Environment with Gitpod (daytona gp) Sahre the repo link. I'm sort of lost as to where to find it on Github or gitlab.

i'll continue with the two steps for now, will come ba ck to the first step after you share the link

I have also included images demonstrating how to set up and import a Github project on GitLab.

@Musab1258 i don't think you understood the task.

We don't ewnt to use Gitpod at all.

daytona gp add gitlab...

[mojafa]

Interestingly it's actually long to use gitpod to setup a a codespace-like experience.

it's way easier with daytona-gitlab then gitpod-gitlab

[Musab1258]

daytona gp add gitlab...

@mojafa, Thanks for the response, but can you please help me clarify what daytona gp is. I thought it was daytona gitpod, and that was why I wrote the article like that.

But, if I get what it really means, I can make the necessary changes to the article.

[mojafa]

@Musab1258 here, gp is git-provider.
