Git folders

Git folders is the current Databricks name, previously Databricks Repos (since March 2024).

Databricks Repos → Git folders

In-workspace Git client for version-controlling notebooks and files.

• It's a full Git client living inside the workspace - branch, commit, pull - and it was renamed 'Git folders' once it grew to version arbitrary files, not just notebooks. 🔗
• It can version arbitrary file types, not just notebooks, but it refuses to work without a remote repo URL. 🔗
• The switch to the 'Git folders' name landed in the March 21, 2024 platform release notes. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: Working branches are capped at 1 GB, files over 10 MB can't be viewed in the UI, each Git operation supports up to 2 GB memory and 4 GB disk, and Databricks recommends under 20000 files; GPG commit signing and SSH aren't supported, and Git operations that alter notebook source lose cell outputs and state. 🔗
