unfortunately, at the moment there’s no way to increase codespaces storage beyond 32gb as a free user. the storage limit is tied to the machine type that github provides, and even paid plans (like team or enterprise) don’t raise the disk size. they only give you more compute hours and collaboration features. the 32gb cap still applies to every codespace regardless of the plan. for now, the only workarounds are cleaning up heavy folders (like node_modules), offloading larger files to external storage, or using a local environment if your project really needs more space. the github team has acknowledged that expanded storage is a common request, but there’s no timeline for it yet. hope this helps. if it answers your question, please mark it as the accepted answer so others can find it too. |

nope, as far as i know it was never actually an option... you'd have to look it up somewhere if it ever was. |
