What is this?
StackBlitz is an online IDE that runs a full development environment in your browser, powered by Visual Studio Code.
Is this the actual StackBlitz source code?
No — this repo is only StackBlitz's public bug tracker. The actual product, SDK and runtime live in separate repositories like stackblitz/docs, stackblitz/sdk and stackblitz/webcontainer-core.
Will I find setup instructions or code here?
No. There are no install steps or application code in this repo; it exists purely for issue tracking, with links out to the real docs, SDK and starter template repos.
Do I need to install anything on my machine to use it?
No local install is needed — StackBlitz runs entirely in the browser as a hosted IDE built on VS Code.
What is WebContainers?
WebContainers, found in the stackblitz/webcontainer-core repo, is the underlying technology that lets StackBlitz run a full dev environment directly inside the browser.
Can I embed StackBlitz in my own site?
Yes, the separate stackblitz/sdk repository provides an SDK specifically for embedding StackBlitz projects elsewhere.
Are there ready-made project templates?
Yes, StackBlitz maintains a dedicated stackblitz/starters repository with starter templates you can launch directly.
