URL parameter for a container image

You can use the image parameter to use a custom reference to a container image in the following scenarios:

  • The Git repository contains no devfile, and you want to start a new workspace with the custom image.

  • The Git repository contains a devfile, and you want to override the first container image listed in the components section of the devfile.

The URL parameter for the path to the container image is image=:

https://<che_fqdn>#<git_repository_url>?image=<container_image_url>
