You can make a copy of this notebook to get started.

On Google Colab, first install the library and then run the code.

!pip install -U git+https://github.com/amitness/colab-connect.git

from colabconnect import colabconnect

# Default: VS Code
colabconnect()

# For Cursor editor
# colabconnect(editor="cursor")

1. After running the code, copy the given code, click the GitHub link and paste the code.

2. Paste your unique code on the github link and press "Continue".

3. Open your local VSCode Editor. Install the Remote Tunnels extension if you haven't already installed. Then, open the command prompt and select Remote-Tunnels: Connect to Tunnel

4. You will be shown a list of tunnels. Select the first tunnel name that has online beside it.

5. You will be connected to the virtual machine and can access the folders. Open the /colab folder and store your code there for persistence on Google Drive. The workflow is similar to the Remote SSH plugin
