Project: Sharing Your Project with GitHub Gists
- Guided Project
- 2 hours
- Beginner
- Git
Overview
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to share completed Jupyter Notebook projects using GitHub Gists, a free and beginner-friendly way to publish your work so others can view it online. Unlike sharing a raw .ipynb file, Gists automatically render your code, outputs, and visualizations, making your portfolio projects accessible to anyone with the link.
You'll walk through downloading your notebook, creating and naming a Gist on GitHub, configuring its visibility, and verifying that your notebook renders correctly. You'll also learn how to update your Gist when you revise your work and troubleshoot the most common rendering issues.
Objective: Publish a Jupyter Notebook project online using GitHub Gists so your work is viewable and shareable without requiring anyone to install Jupyter locally.

- ✓ Create and configure GitHub Gists for Jupyter notebooks
- ✓ Download and prepare .ipynb files with proper naming
