= Support creating CDEs by pointing directly to a devfile.yaml on GitHub
Starting from this release, you can create a Cloud DeveloperEnvironment (CDE) by using a GitHub repository URL of a directory with a devfile, or a GitHub repository URL directly pointing to the devfile. Previously, you could only use URLs of the GitHub repository, branch, and tag, as well as link: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_openshift_dev_spaces/3.21/html/user_guide/getting-started-with-devspaces#starting-a-workspace-from-a-raw-devfile-url [raw devfile URLs] to create a CDE.
[IMPORTANT]
====
The name of the devfile must be `devfile.yaml` or `.devfile.yaml`.
