Running another notebook inside a notebook which is connected to git

In our company we learned to connect our notebook to git repository, however there is an issue.

Running a notebook inside another notebook. This is the way that we have discovered, however this solution cant go into production because it included an employee username in the path.

What is/are solution to solve it?

Solution

  • You need to use relative paths for %run command. For example:

    • ./name for notebook in current directory
    • ../name for notebook in parent directory
    • ../../name for notebook in two levels higher
    • subdir/name for notebook in sub-directory with name subdir

    You can also consider to use arbitrary files support in Repos, although it's mostly for Python & R modules.
