This automatically clones the BrainScaleS example notebooks ([[from github>>https://github.com/electronicvisions/brainscales2-demos.git]]) into a non-persistent location and opens the tutorial index notebook. You can also directly jump to e.g. the [[single neuron notebook>>https://lab.jsc.ebrains.eu/hub/user-redirect/git-pull?repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Felectronicvisions%2Fbrainscales2-demos.git&urlpath=lab%2Ftree%2Fbrainscales2-demos.git%2Fts_00-single_neuron.ipynb&branch=jupyter-notebooks-experimental]] or the [[learning with superspike notebook>>https://lab.jsc.ebrains.eu/hub/user-redirect/git-pull?repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Felectronicvisions%2Fbrainscales2-demos.git&urlpath=lab%2Ftree%2Fbrainscales2-demos.git%2Fts_01-superspike.ipynb&branch=jupyter-notebooks-experimental]]. To run the notebook cells use the "Run" menu item.

26 -1111. Start a "Terminal" via the icon in the "Launcher window" shown. This opens a terminal in the "/mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB/" directory. This is a location on the EBRAINS "Drive".

27 27  Note: If you use "File" > "New" > "Terminal" the opened terminal is in the directory "/opt/app-root/src". This location only exists while the Jupyter ("Lab") session is running and will be gone, when a new Lab session is started. Do not use this location, if you want to keep the files. To change into the persistent directory type "cd /mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB" (without the " and the name of your your Collab instead of NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB. The collab name in the screenshot is "20250709-testCollab")
