Mounting google drive on google Colab

I followed the steps given in this Medium tutorial on google colab and then tried to clone a git repository but I cannot see the repository anywhere in my drive.

The following image is the code snippet I used which is exactly the same as that from the Medium tutorial:

To mount google drive on google Colab just use these commands:

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

It would need an authentication process. Do whatever it needs (open the link and copy the key)

Now you have mounted your google drive in /content/drive/ directory in your google Colab machine.

To clone a git repository, first set your current directory as a path in /content/drive/, then just clone the git repository. Like below:

path_clone = "/content/drive/my_project"
%cd path_clone
!git clone <Git project URL address>

Now you would have the cloned Git project in my_projects folder in your Google Drive (which is also connected to your Google Colab runtime machine)

Just do cd drive (without !) or %cd drive.

See cd vs !cd vs %cd in IPython.
