Can I push/pull directly from my google drive online?

Question

There are methods to sync my local git repository over to my google drive via google drive sync windows application, but I was wondering whether I could bypass its need alto

Answer 1

Eduardo Rosas has an article on how to do this using colab (only a browser required). essentially you access your google drive using:

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')
#cd to the google drive you using the magic command
%cd /content/gdrive/'My Drive'/[your drive folder for repo]
#check your directory location with
!pwd
#clone your repo - Note this exposes your password so don't make the notebook public
!git clone https://LaloCo:password%23@github.com/LaloCo/handson-ml.git
#I find using a github personal access token easier
!git clone https://user:PAT@github.com/repo
