How to SSH into a codespace without using github cli, instead using a normal SSH command?
Or if there is a sort-of github cli module in Python (since that's what I want to be doing), which has an SSH function, could someone please tell me if it exists and if so, what it is?
Thanks

yes, I didn't tried it but once you use gh ssh it creates the ssh keys uploads the public key and creates the ssh config file so you can use normal ssh commands and compatible tools see https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_codespace_ssh

[Hacksore]

Even if you do that it still shows the required CLI usage via ProxyCommand.

 $ gh cs ssh --config
Host cs.hacksore-effective-funicular-69v6465p4q34wpj.master
	User codespace
	ProxyCommand /opt/homebrew/bin/gh cs ssh -c hacksore-effective-funicular-69v6465p4q34wpj --stdio -- -i /Users/hacksore/.ssh/codespaces.auto
	UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
	StrictHostKeyChecking no
	LogLevel quiet
	ControlMaster auto
	IdentityFile /Users/hacksore/.ssh/codespaces.auto

Would be very nice if there was a way to access a codespace without the use of the CLI.
