Sharing Jupyter Notebooks: Glossary

GitHub is a development platform where we “can host and review code, manage projects, and build software.”

A GitHub repository can be created, populated, and shared without command line or other special-purpose version control tools.

Jupyter Notebooks shared through GitHub are rendered, but are static. GitHub does not run the notebook(s) in a repository.

Binder provides an environment that runs and interactively serves your Jupyter notebooks.

Use requirements.txt to specify dependencies beyond the Jupyter notebook execution environment itself. Typically, this will at least be any package you import in your Python code.
