Migrating a DSL Script via Git

The Git Export (Migration) and Import from Git functionality in Data Science Lab (DSLab) allows users to export notebooks and related project files to a Git repository and import them into another account, workspace, or server. This enables seamless migration of DSL projects, notebooks, and utility files while preserving version history and project structure.

Note: Only notebooks previously exported to Git or exported to the Data Pipeline can be migrated. Utility files associated with the project are automatically included in the migration.

Pushing a Notebook to Git for Migration

Navigation path: Data Science Lab > Workspace > Repo Folder > Notebook > Elipsis > Push into Git

1. Open the Notebook you wish to migrate from the Repo folder.

2. Click the Push into Git option from the notebook actions menu.

3. The Push into Git drawer will open.

Important Notes

• Only exported scripts can be migrated to Git.

• When migrating a DSL notebook via Git Export, the project under which the notebook was created is also migrated.

• Utility files associated with the same project are automatically included in the migration.

• Migration preserves the notebook version and metadata for consistency across accounts and workspaces.
