URL parameter for the existing workspace name

If you start a new workspace with a URL that contains the existing URL parameter specifying an existing workspace name, the existing workspace created from the same URL is opened.

Example 1. Example

https://<che_fqdn>#<git_repository_url>?existing=workspace_name

When specifying the existing URL parameter, following situations may arise:

  • If there is no workspace created from the same URL, a new workspace is created.

  • If the specified existing workspace name matches an existing workspace created from the same URL and the existing workspace is opened.

  • If the specified existing workspace name does not match any existing workspaces, a warning appears and you need to select one of the following actions:

    • Create a new workspace.

    • Select an existing workspace to open.

To create multiple workspaces from the same URL, you can use the new URL parameter:

https://<che_fqdn>#<git_repository_url>?new
