Developing notebooks in vscode running in the browser

Can't install VS Code? No problem!

Editing Jupyter notebooks in VS Code can be done entirely through a web based interface provided by https://vscode.dev or https://github.dev (available by typing '.' when viewing a repo on https://github.com).

Open a notebook

Once you choose one of the above paths, open a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb). From there, be sure to install the Jupyter and Python extensions (Python only required if using... ahem... Python).

Run a cell

In order to run cells in your notebook, you'll need to specify a kernel to run against. There are at least 3 ways to accomplish this:

• Connect to a Jupyter server
• Install Pyolite (Jupyter extension not required!)
• Github Codespace If you opened a Github repo, you may have the option to create and connect to a Github Codespace. Run a cell and you'll be prompted appropriately.

FYI

Connecting to a Jupyter server or running with the Pyolite kernel

Most features will operate just fine; however, we are still working to support the following:

• Debugging in an Interactive Window session
• Running local kernels/python environments (you have to start your own jupyter instead)
• Intellisense is limited
• Dataframe viewing
• Plot expansion

Connecting to a Github Codespace

All functionality is available

Sorry, I am trying to understand what is going on. That is in order to connect to a running Jupyter server, rather than running kernels with vscode, right? If so, that would allow keeping kernels running after disconnecting from vscode, which is interesting. If so, I still do not get it how to make it working, as "Editing Jupyter notebooks in VS Code can be done entirely through a web based interface provided by https://vscode.dev/ or https://github.dev/ (available by typing '.' when viewing a repo on https://github.com/)." does not make sense to me. Thank you!
