How does version running work when starting with a notebook in your local workspace and then being automated?
1. Clarification
2. Scheduled automations use whatever version of the code is on the main branch of the repo.
What is the difference between cloning workspace and moving our workspace?
1. Cloning is the process of connecting a folder in the databricks workspace to a remote git repository.
2. You are able to move assets around the databricks workspace as needed. Only assets under a Git Folder will be tracked by git.
Should we delete the notebooks under our personal workspace once we move them into Git?
1. Yes, it is a good practice to have a single copy of a given notebook.
2. If the notebook is in a "regular" folder within the Databricks workspace, it should be moved into the appropriate location in the data broker repo. All work should be done on that copy of the notebook.
