Thank you so much, you are a life saver, my machine does not have a GPU and I needed to run a StyleGAN, and the only way was through colab, thanks a lot!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial ! I make my entirely research using colab and I aways try to update the repository in there but I never did. Thank you !

Short - simple and straight to the point: 👌👌don't know what to say...Just simple perfect video 👍👍👍👍 btw do you have any written document where i can follow the steps too. This wouldbe awsome!

Thank you of course, but I have a question: Isn't there a risk of writing the password explicitely in plain text?

Can we create a conda or pyenv virtual environment inside Google colab that can be resued (instead of installing pip packages everytime inside Google Colab), everytime we clone a Git Repo to modify and develop?

[nadiaa]

Great vid, I have a question though: every time you run the notebook, do you need to clone the repository all over again?

[lutfiirhmn]

Hello, i try this and it says could not read password

[tgkjqis]

Where do you have your Google Colab + Git Pushing Changes to a GitHub Repo! notebook? How does it know what to add to that repo specified.

Can you open a notebook from the terminal? I tried !jupyter-notebook notebook.ipynb
