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 raw devfile URLs to create a CDE.

The name of the devfile must be devfile.yaml or .devfile.yaml.
