Hi there,  
Please I am trying to setup this lesson (Quality Assurance: American British Translator) using gitpod and the github url of the project but i get stock in gitpod “starting workspace” as shown in the image below.

 ![gitpod-error-not-starting-workspace](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/4X/f/d/7/fd74016f9750a35f4f35fc2eb988a4f7ceae3f44.png)

Here is the link to the gitpod workshpace. The project is not started in gitpod.

[https://gitpod.io/#github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-american-british-english-translator/](https://gitpod.io/#github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-american-british-english-translator/)

Why is the Github repository not loading?

Hi @Billjay

Gitpod is sunsetting soon.

For now you can access `Gitpod` using the following url:

`https://gitpod.io/workspaces`

From there you can open a new workspace, enter the repository url after clicking `Open new workspace`.

Happy coding

Thanks @Teller for the support but I have tried your recommendation and I am still stuck. Gitpod does not start the workspace. It keeps on showing Preparing, Starting workspace…
