Colab’s tricks

Save code

1. Save cell’s code

   %%writefile name.py
   import torch
   a=torch.tensor([1,2,3,4])
   print(a)
   

   Note that %%writefile code.py should be put at the beginning of the cell

Open a Github notebook using Colab

Change the domain from 'github.com' to 'githubtocolab.com'. The notebook will open in Colab. See other tricks.
