## My Codespace says it's in "recovery mode"

Occasionally when creating a Codespace something goes wrong. In these instances, GitHub will boot the Codespace into a "recovery mode". This provides you with a very basic environment in which to debug the problem. If this happens, either delete it and try again or contact tech support. If you contact tech support, then don't delete the Codespace, as it's likely you'll be asked for the creation logs so the problem can be investigated.

In recovery mode, you will not be able to access any of the usual tools or VS Code plugins. Some basic functionality, like copy and paste, may not work as expected either. So you should not attempt you use it for any work. GitHub provide some more information about Codespace recovery mode in their [documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-creation-and-deletion-of-codespaces#codespace-creation-fails).
