Bitrise RDE UI

The Bitrise RDE UI is the web interface for Remote Dev Environments. It's the visual way to create and manage sessions, templates, and saved inputs, and it includes a built-in terminal so you can work in a session without leaving the browser.

Open the Remote Dev Environments section of the Bitrise app to get started.

You can configure your Claude Code credentials and passwordless SSH access on the Saved inputs page. Saved inputs are reusable credentials and values you store once and map into sessions. See Saved inputs for details.

Creating a sessionClick to copy link​

  1. In the Remote Dev Environments section, click New session.

  2. Set a session title, and optionally a description.

    The session title must be unique.

  3. Optionally, enter an AI prompt to start Claude Code automatically when the session boots. This requires saved Claude Code credentials.

  4. Choose when the session should auto-terminate.

  5. Choose a template, or select No template and pick a stack and a machine type directly.

  6. Fill in any required inputs. You can type a value or select an existing saved input.

  7. Click Create.

The session starts within a short while. When it's running, open it to connect.

Managing sessionsClick to copy link​

The Sessions list shows every session in the workspace, grouped by status, with search. From a session you can:

  • Restore a terminated session, or terminate a running one.
  • Permanently delete a terminated session.
  • Edit its name and description, and change its auto-terminate setting.

Connecting to a sessionClick to copy link​

The session detail page is your connection hub. From it you can:

  • Open the built-in web terminal, with support for multiple tabs.
  • Copy the SSH and VNC credentials to connect from your own tools.
  • Use Open in VS Code to connect with the VS Code Remote - SSH extension.
  • Use workspace-link buttons to open a specific folder in your IDE.

For details on each method, see Connecting to a session.
