NB Virtual Workspace

Secure remote virtual workspace to connect developers with cloud-hosted code repositories.

Features

• No-Clone Mounting (nb://): Mount remote projects directly into the VS Code Explorer workspace without local clones or git checkouts.
• On-Demand Fetching: File contents are fetched from cloud storage on-demand when opened, keeping startup times fast.
• Write-Through Cache: File modifications are written to a secure local cache, keeping editing latency at zero.
• Soft-Locking: Registers a temporary lease lock on the active file with a background heartbeat to prevent team write conflicts.
• Task-Sandboxed Staging: Saves changes to task-specific branches for review in the Web UI before merging.
