gcloud compute ssh --zone=$ZONE jupyter@$INSTANCE_NAME – -L 8080:localhost:8080

You can type it in any shell after you download Google Cloud SDK.

Surprisingly, i see a tutorials folder –> data, fastai, pytorch folders. Where did this come from/when did i define them?

Google DL Image preinstalls them for you as demo.

@hanqi

I can’t do git clone in SDK shell after typing first gcloud command because it does not accept anymore input. How do i get the course-v3 stuff then?

You are supposed to clone them in the Google Cloud instance you get connected to.

@hanqi

Does the cloud shell interact with my local files?

No, it doesn’t.

@hanqi

Could you please explain big picture what is going on both locally and remotely when those 2 commands are used?

Basically, you are controlling the remote computer and projecting its shell into your local shell. SSH also tunnels the data in the Jupyter notebook to your localhost:8080, so that you can work directly with the notebook running in the remote server in the convenience of your browser.
