Example repository to create an environment with course materials in Python.
This repository follows the binder-examples/conda example very closely.
repo2docker is the underlying tool that is used to build an environment from a repository.
repo2docker can be configured with several types of files. In the case of this repo:
environment.yml: specify the dependency that will be installed usingcondapostBuild: specify extra dependencies such as JupyterLab extensions
Once created, the environment can be reused without building it again.
For more information, see the extensive rep2docker documentation.
Materials can be added anywhere to this repository, either at the top level or in subdirectory.
When building the environment, the materials (and any other file) will be copied to the Docker image.
In this example, there is already a test notebook available under materials/example.ipynb.
