This folder contains an example reference notebook structure and approach for this project. Please try and follow this structure as closely as possible. While things will not exactly be the same for each notebook some principles we would like to try ensure are:
- Each notebook or collection of related or dependent notebooks should live in its own folder.
- Each notebook should have a markdown file with the same name as the notebook (or README.md if it's a single notebook folder) that explains what the notebook does and how to use it.
- Add an "Open in Colab" badge to the top of the notebook (see the markdown
cell near the top of
example.ipynb
as an example you can adapt). - Make it as easy as possible for someone to run the notebook in Google Colab
or some other environment based on standard practices like providing a
requirements.txt
file or anything else needed to successfully run the notebook.
At the top of the example notebook there is a code cell that will (once uncommented):
- clone the repository into your colab instance.
cd
into the relevant notebook directory.- run
pip install -r requirements.txt
to install the required packages.
At this point you can run the notebook as normal and the folder structure will
match that of the repository and the colab notebook will be running from the
same directory that the notebook lives in so relative links etc should work as
expected (for example example.ipynb
will read some sample data from
data/data.csv
).
If you are adding a notebook please try and add a similar cell to the top of the notebook so that it is easy for others to run the notebook in colab. If your notebook does not have any dependencies beyond what already comes as standard in Google Colab then you do not need such a cell, just an "Open in Colab" badge will suffice.
This notebook contains an example "Open In Colab" badge and a code cell to
prepare the colab environment to run the notebook. It also contains a code cell
that will read in some sample data from the data
folder in the repository and
display it as a pandas dataframe.
