Generate nbgitpuller link

This is an activity for instructors which describes two methods for generating nbgitpuller links..

Via Web Browser Extension¶

• Click this link to launch a Jupyter notebook. This will clone a repository containing a Jupyter notebook to the home directory of your Berkeley Jupyterhub account.
• Execute all the cells in the “iris.ipynb” notebook which is located inside “datahub_workshop_feb24” directory
• (This is an optional step) Add text as markdown in the notebook. For instance, you could add a header cell that says “Welcome to my first notebook!”
• (This is an optional step) Clear all the cells (this is relevant in teaching scenario).
• Download the notebook by selecting “File -> Download” option
• Login to your Github account. Incase you don’t have an account, try creating a new Github account for the sake of this activity (or collaborate with someone who has a Github account)
• Create a new Github repository (If you are new to Github, check this documentation for detailed steps to create a repository)
• Upload the notebook to Github repository (Refer to this documentation if needed)
• Install the “DataHub Link Generator” browser extension using this link. Please follow the steps in the documentation to make the extension visible in your browser
• Generate a new nbgitpuller link by entering the following details in the input fields and clicking the button “Copy nbgitpuller link” “JupyterHub URL”: “https://datahub.berkeley.edu/”, “Open In”: “Classic Notebook”
• Share the nbgitpuller link with another collaborator who is attending the workshop

Via Jupyter Notebook¶

• Click this link to download a PDF containing python code
• Login to https://datahub.berkeley.edu/
