        ## What is Colab-ssh ?
        Colab-ssh is a light-weight library that allows you to connect to Google Colab Notebook using an SSH Tunnel and optionally via VSCode.
        
        ## Quick start
        You can click on the Google Colab button to clone an already setup notebook:
        
        [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/WassimBenzarti/colab-ssh/blob/master/docs/Colab_ssh_Initial_project.ipynb)
        
        > :warning: Colab-ssh supports Google colaboratory notebooks only, using it on other notebooks may lead to unexpected behavior. 
        
        ## Getting started
        
        Now you can watch a demo video on how to setup Colab-ssh with cloudflared on Youtube. Click the video below to open it.
        
        [![Youtube demo of Colab-ssh](http://img.youtube.com/vi/Q78_MMaNe_U/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q78_MMaNe_U "Colab-ssh: open Google Colab with VSCode and SSH")
        
        1. Open Google Colab and run this code in one of the code cells
        ```jupyter
        # Install colab_ssh on google colab
        !pip install colab_ssh --upgrade
        
        from colab_ssh import launch_ssh_cloudflared, init_git_cloudflared
        launch_ssh_cloudflared(password="<PUT_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>")
        
        # Optional: if you want to clone a Github or Gitlab repository
        repository_url="<PUT_YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL_HERE>"
        init_git_cloudflared(repository_url)
        ```
        > Make sure you replace `<PUT_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>` with a password of your choice and `<PUT_YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL_HERE>` with the link to your Github/Gitlab repository (if you use the git integration).
        
        The output of this snippet will look similar to the following screenshot:
        ![launch_ssh_cloudflared output](docs/assets/launch_ssh_cloudflared.jpg)
        
        > :warning: If it's the first time you launch colab-ssh on your machine, it's important to follow the instructions in the **"Client machine configuration" section**. To show the steps that you need to do, **just click "Client machine configuration"**. Don't worry, you don't have to repeat these steps again for each notebook.

        ### Cloning a repository (Optional)
        If you are a Github/Gitlab fan, you probably want to clone a repository (private or public) repeatedly to the Google Colab Notebook.
        This is why `init_git` is created.
        
        <details><summary> <b> What `init_git` does</b></summary>
        
        - Clones the repository
        - Uses your personal token (if you provided it) to setup the repository remote URL (this is useful so you don't have to worry about authentication during `git clone` or `git push`). If you clone a private repository without a personal token, you will be asked to put your password (This is only valid for Gitlab, as opposed to Github that recently disabled password authentication).
        - Checkout the branch of your preference
        - Sets up the `user.email` and `user.name` for you, in case you need to commit.
        - Also, it inserts the cloned folder to the `sys.path`. This is helpful when your cloned repository is a python project and you want to import some python modules directly (without specifying the name of the root folder) to your Google Colab Notebook. Example: If you cloned a repository called `example-repo`. A folder should be created containing your cloned repository. If `example-repo` has a python module called `my_module`, instead of writing in your notebook `import example-repo.my_module`, you can simply do `import my_module`.
        </details>
        
        
        #### Example:
        ```python
        init_git_cloudflared("https://github.com/<OWNER>/<REPO_NAME>.git",
                 personal_token="<YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN>", 
                 branch="<YOUR_BRANCH>",
                 email="<YOUR_EMAIL>",
                 username="<YOUR_USERNAME>")
        ```
        The output of this command will look like this:
        ![init_git_cloudflared output](docs/assets/init_git_cloudflared.jpg)
        
        
        This will display a button inside the cell output (or a url in case of a terminal). This is a direct link to open VSCode installed on your machine.
        > Link doesn't appear or doesn't work?
        > - Make sure you have VSCode installed locally for the link to work
        > - Make sure that you run `launch_ssh_cloudflared` before `init_git_cloudflared`. The reason for that is because `init_git_cloudflared` shows the link based on the tunnel information provided by the function `launch_ssh_cloudflared`.
        
        > :warning: Please note that your Gitlab personal access token requires the following scopes: `read_api, read_repository, write_repository`.
        
        ### Avoiding passwords (Optional)
        Instead of setting a password, you can access the SSH tunnel using your own pair of keys.
        
        > **IMPORTANT**: This feature is only available when you clone your git repository by using the function `init_git_cloudflared()`
        
        You need to follow these steps:
        1. Create a pair of SSH key
        2. Copy your **public key** (usually it's in the file `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`) and make sure you keep your **private key** in a safe place
        3. In the root of your github repository, create a folder called `.colab_ssh` and a file within it called `authorized_keys`
        4. Paste your **public key** inside the file `.collab_ssh/authorized_keys`
        5. Push your changes to the repository and launch the clone again from your Google Colab Notebook
        
        <details><summary><b>How it works behind the scenes ?</b></summary> 
                 
        We get your **public key** from the repository passed into the `init_git()` function and then we add it to the  `authorized_keys` file (found in `~/.ssh` folder).
        </details>

        ## FAQ
        
        <details><summary> <b> Can I open the Colab notebook automatically without user interaction ?</b> </summary>
        
        No, you still need to open the Google Colab Notebook interface manually in order to setup this tool. Google Colab doesn't have an API yet to automatically run a notebook for you.</details>
        
        <details><summary> <b> Some environment variables are available on Google Colab but not available when executing from the terminal ?</b> </summary>
