Databricks-GitHub integration, automatically add all notebooks to repository

Question

I'm trying to set up GitHub integration for Databricks.
We have hundreds of notebooks there, and it would be exhausting to add every notebook manually to the repo.

Is there some way to automatically commit and push all notebooks from databricks to repository?

Answer 1

Since no one answered it for 3 month, I'll put my own solution.

Under /Shared/ dir in databricks we have notebooks which should be synced to repository under notebooks/Shared/.
I run this script on regular basis, thus keeping all notebooks up-to-date in a repo.

databricks workspace export_dir /Shared ./notebooks/Shared -o
git add --all
git commit -m "shared notebooks updated"
git push

-o flag is for overriding existing notebooks with latest version.

Note, you first have to set up and configure databricks-cli on your machine: https://docs.databricks.com/user-guide/dev-tools/databricks-cli.html#set-up-the-cli
