Binder Project
open-in-new
<p>The Binder Project is a software project to package and share interactive, reproducible environments. A <i>Binder</i> or "Binder-ready repository" is a code repository that contains both code and content to run, and configuration files for the environment needed to run it. </p><p>Since 2017, when the Binder Project was merged into the <a href="/facts/JupyterHub/sN94yfV5">JupyterHub</a> project, the development communities share many people in common. A common use of Binder is for sharing a Jupyter notebook in a way that the recipient can immediately execute in a browser. </p><p>The Binder project maintains core libraries and documentation for running Binder services, which make those projects available, as well as BinderHub, a tool for deploying such services via common cloud computing environments. A public BinderHub portal is hosted by the community at mybinder.org. </p>
