Databricks Projects

Databricks Projects was renamed - Databricks now calls it Git folders, as of March 2021.

Databricks Projects → Databricks Repos → Git folders

Git-based workspace capability, previewed in 2020, for creating or cloning Git repositories in Databricks and keeping notebooks, code, data files and library dependencies in sync.

• It promised to catch secrets you were about to commit, so the token you pasted into a notebook cell would never make it to the remote. 🔗
• The name never quite left - Databricks' own blog posts about its successor still deep-link to a docs anchor called projects-api-experimental. 🔗
