Gitpod supports Jupyter notebooks through the use of the versus code Jupyter extension. This allows you to use our cloud development environment for data science, data analysis, machine learning, and more. Using Jupyter notebooks in gitpod comes with several benefits. Not only do you get the robust features of versus code, but also in environments that fosters collaboration between data scientists and engineers. Let's walk through configuring your gitpod workspace to get started with Jupyter notebooks. First let's open a gitpod workspace from your repository. With your Jupyter notebooks, you can either install the gitpod extension or prefix the URL with Gitpod IO hash and start a new workspace. Once you're in your workspace, you'll notice a gitpod configuration file that has already been generated for you. Let's customize this further by creating a command that opens our notebook every time we start a new workspace, and we'll also add the versus code extensions needed to run Jupyter notebooks. Now we're ready to commit this configuration to our repo and start a new workspace. To see these tasks in action, let's now open a new workspace. Gitpod will initiate the Jupyter notebook as per our configuration. And now from here you can create new notebooks, write and execute code all within a gitpod workspace.
