# Open in Colab Chrome Extension

This is a simple Chrome extension that, when clicked while viewing a Jupyter
notebook on GitHub, will open that notebook in
[Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/).

The extension simply provides a URL redirect: it reads the current URL and opens
a new tab at https://colab.research.google.com/github/ (or /gist/) with the
user, repository, and notebook path.

The extension supports the following GitHub pages:

*   Notebook preview page when browsing a repository's files, e.g.
    https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/blob/main/notebooks/Gemma_Distributed_Fine_tuning_on_TPU.ipynb
*   Gists with .ipynb files, e.g.
    https://gist.github.com/peap/f9e32370dd789d4fb2ca470fe8de3931.

## Installing the Extension

The latest release of the extension can be installed from the
[Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-in-colab/iogfkhleblhcpcekbiedikdehleodpjo).
