Save output folder to github (Github Integration)

[green405]

Is it possible to save output folders to github vice cli or download?

Hi @green405,

Right now this type of integration can be done only manually. Here's the steps:

1. init a new project folder for the project you want to integrate to Github (floyd init <project_name> and git init && git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
2. After your Job has finished the execution, download the Output with floyd data clone <user>/projects/<name>/<version>/output
3. Push on Github

I have updated the title / category to reflect that this is a new feature request. This will help us gauge interest from our users.

Can you provide more info about your use case, please?
This will help us to understand your workflow and fit it into FloydHub.

Thank you! That would be a nice feature to have.

@redeipirati I am also interested in Github integration, main reason is to keep my code under version control (obviously) but also since my Github profile is what I point job recruiters to

[robmarkcole]

@redeipirati OK Github integration is really essential, as I just accidentally deleted by master notebook..

Hi @robmarkcole,

Thanks for the feedback. Can you please provide some more info about your workflow? From my understanding your are working inside a Workspace, right? How often and when do you manually sync the Workspace code to your github repo at the moment?

[robmarkcole]

@redeipirati Yes using workspace, but not committing to github.

Ideal workflow:
1. Create template repo on github from cookicutter?
2. Start workspace from repo on Floydhub
3. Periodically git commit, could use terminal, but there are also Jupyterlab addons for this -> https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-git

For version control of notebooks see https://www.reviewnb.com/

Tight integration with Github and version control of notebooks would be an awesome feature for Floydhub
