Hello,
I am trying to integrate Azure Synapse analytics with my GitHub account, and while I managed to do that following this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/cicd/source-control#connect-with-github, I don't understand how I can see this data in the notebook (do I need to import is somehow, or ?).
Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks!

Greetings & Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum! Thank you for sharing your query.
It appears you've successfully connected your Azure Synapse workspace to your GitHub repository, as evidenced by the screenshot showing the linked repository (
ac-test) and branch (importing_data_branch). The presence of "Validate all," "Commit all," and "Publish" buttons further confirms this connection.To view and use data from your GitHub repository in an Azure Synapse notebook, follow these steps:
Notebooks in GitHub - When you connect Synapse to GitHub, your notebook files (.ipynb files) are stored in your GitHub repository. You don't need to download them separately. They'll appear in the "Workspace" section of Synapse Studio. When you open a notebook, Synapse automatically pulls the latest version from GitHub.
Data Files - If your notebook uses external data files (like CSV, JSON, etc.), the best practice is to store those data files in Azure Blob Storage or Azure Data Lake Storage. Synapse is designed to work very efficiently with data in these Azure storage services. You can then use code within your notebook (PySpark, SQL, etc.) to load the data from Azure Storage.
GitHub for Version Control -The real power of the GitHub integration is version control. Any changes you make to your notebooks in Synapse can be committed and pushed back to your GitHub repository directly from Synapse Studio. This keeps a complete history of your work.
By following these steps, you can integrate and utilize data from your GitHub repository within Azure Synapse, leveraging both the version control capabilities of GitHub and the powerful data processing features of Synapse.
