# Import Notebooks

Depending on your class requirements and on your level of familiarity with version control, there are different recommended ways to sync files to and from your hub. We list several options below.

## Adding Files From Your Desktop ①

The File Uploaded tool offers the easiest approach for students to add files to your hub.

1. Select <img src="https://2883398872-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LLCCXzhzhO5fUT5UTHC-887967055%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-05b2353f28dde3ab25bb477c789e19cf0a96e0f4%2FScreenshot%20from%202018-09-19%2009-14-01.png?alt=media" alt="" data-size="original">File browser from left sidebar
2. Select the <img src="https://2883398872-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LLCCXzhzhO5fUT5UTHC-887967055%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e82a16e672d023f03ff3c7f4de50d0bda7821c3c%2Fimage%20(8).png?alt=media" alt="" data-size="original">Upload Files button
3. Select the files you would like to upload and click **Open**
4. The files will be automatically added to your hub at your current working directory level.

## Import via URL ①

Ⓣ Teachers have the ability to generate an URL that will place the appropriate content in your hub. If you are an Instructor, please refer to the [Link Generation Section](/archive/jupyterhub/content-sync-via-link/nbgitpuller.md).

Ⓢ Students will simply need to clink the link posted in Canvas. Note that if the content is updated by the instructor, then visiting the link again will bring the new content.

## Import from Git/GitHub Repository ②

Many courses at Brown use GitHub and GitHub classroom to distribute lecture and homework material. If your class uses GitHub and GitHub classroom for content distribution, you should review the sections [**CONTENT SYNC VIA GIT,**](/archive/jupyterhub/git-basics/overview.md) and [**GITHUB CLASSROOM**](/archive/jupyterhub/github-classroom-student-guide/overview.md) from the left navigation bar.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/archive/jupyterhub/getting-started/step-3-import-notebooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
