How to open a local Jupyter Notebook directly on Google Colab without going for the extra step of uploading it on Google Drive?

Question

I would like to load my jupyter notebook from my local repo directly on Colab, without uploading it first on GDrive. I'm well aware of the possibility to open Github notebooks directly on Colab, but that's not what I'm trying to make, since I would like to directly open notebooks from my local repo and then have the freedom to commit and push whenever I want. Is this possible or do I have to just give up and upload a copy on GDrive and then download the .ipynb everytime I want to save locally?

Answer 1

You can use my library to open Jupyter Notebook and open any local notebook in the same machine instance.

!pip install kora -q
from kora import jupyter
jupyter.start()

Then click the shown link. It should list local ipynb files. You can then click them to open and edit the files directly.
