Continuous Deployment with GitHub Actions and Kamal
Once the image has been built and pushed, you only need to trigger the deployment using Kamal. We use the webfactory/ssh-agent to establish a connection to our production server. After installing the required Ruby dependencies, it’s only a matter of running Kamal. As the image is already built and pushed, we use the --skip-push flag.

Getting Started with GitHub Codespaces from a Serverless Perspective
Thankfully when I reached out on Twitter, Jonathan Carter on the Codespaces team, seemed to suggest they may be working on a native SSH integration one day. Till then, here is the solution I came up with. This process address some sequencing issues around devcontainer.json's Lifecycle Scripts and when your Dotfiles are installed. Credit to VS Codes Using SSH Keys guide. Also, some things here are pulled directly from the GitHub Action to setup SSH. Again, thanks to Johnathan Carter for the ideas.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing codespaces and ssh-agent you can also consider the following projects:
openvscode-server - Run upstream VS Code on a remote machine with access through a modern web browser from any device, anywhere.
blog-post-workflow - Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed
aws-sam-build-images - AWS SAM build images
action-tmate - Debug your GitHub Actions via SSH by using tmate to get access to the runner system itself.
vscode-sublime-keybindings - Sublime Text Keymap extension for VS Code
webssh2 - Web SSH Client using ssh2, socket.io, xterm.js, and express. webssh webssh2
