jupyterlab-desktop VS desktop

An alternative in the Python world that is definitely worth looking into is the JupyterLab Desktop app, which is a standalone installer that is cross-platform and works great for beginners (no command line needed): https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop?tab=readme-...

See my other comment in the main thread with more info.

JupyterLab Desktop supports remote server connections out of the box (you just install one locally and a plain JupyterLab on the server using pip).

How JupyterLab Desktop works

Although jupyter notebooks work fine in VSCode you could also try jupyter desktop: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Learning syntax of a new language is trivial, but also not very useful if you haven't learned programming in general. Learning programming is a lifelong process, you are never done with it. It's just a different way of thinking and problemsolving and there will always be problems that are just beyond you, its kind of like math or physics this way. But problems aren't unsolvable for you because you lack language, but because the problem is simply harder than what you can wrap your head around, or larger in scope than what you with limited time can pull off. But, knowing a little bit of programming and little bit of python can be a powerful thing in many jobs. Depends on which problems you need to solve of course. Get JupyterLab for desktop to play around with, it's probably worth your time. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

I am on the MacOS, and I would like to access the jlab executable like this webpage describes:

Congrats on the launch! It's always exciting to see more competition in the version control space.

One question I have is whether you guys are better than:

https://desktop.github.com/

This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git. In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it babies you through the process of committing code.)

I’ve experimented with a “GUI only” git flow - just to see what is possible, so I could introduce the concept to others.

I found GitHub desktop app (https://desktop.github.com/)did a great job of visually showing git flows and functions, but for a non-tech/programmming person, the tool would be daunting.

Curiosity what your suggested tech stack would be - sans Terminal…

just use github desktop its an open source tool https://desktop.github.com/

Download and install GitHub Desktop if you haven't already.
