Don't have hands on experience with GitHub Classroom / CodeSpaces, but looking at the docs your thoughts are correct - prebuilds should be built once (and/or on every config change) and then re-used for every started CodeSpaces for that branch. Docs: |

I am going back through the process of creating an assignment and documenting it here for anyone able to help who is unfamiliar with Github Classroom.
Let me know if you have any questions. |

Hello,
I am trying to wrap my head around how GitHub Classroom with CodeSpaces works. I love the idea, but when students accept an assignment and try to create a CodeSpace on trunk/main does it not use the prebuild I set up for trunk for that repo? Does it have to build the CodeSpace from scratch for each student?
I ask because I was having students with a lot of issues with long load times and regular failures to build. Granted, I am having the CodeSpace install expo-cli, I just thought it would be able to do that as a prebuild and then just load the image when students start their work. Am I thinking of this wrong? I have not found documentation about prebuilds with GitHub Classroom, so it exists please point me to it. Thank you so much in advance.
