A template repo for setting up a collaborative Python development environment with Jupyter Notebook and Gitpod.

This template provides a basic configuration for Gitpod by including a .gitpod.yml and .gitpod.Dockerfile. The Workspace image uses Github's official gitpod/workspace-python build, sets a global Python version (v3.11 -- this may be modified in the .gitpod.Dockerfile), and uses pip install -r "requirements.txt" to make installed Python libraries available across workspace instances.

To use this repository as a basis for your cloud-hosted development environment (CDE) with Python and Jupyter Notebook:

1. Fork this repository.

2. Log into Gitpod and create a new Workspace using your forked version of this repository, or simply add your forked repository's URL to https://gitpod.io/# and in your browser's address bar and navigate to the page.

To ensure that any Python libraries added to the workspace persist across instances, be sure to run pip freeze > "requirements.txt" in your Gitpod Workspace's terminal and to commit and push any changes to your repository.
