Baseboxes for MyBinder
If a MyBinder repo contains nbgitpuller, Binderhub / MyBinder can pass a git-pull? argument through as part of a MyBinder launch URL that allows you to pull notebooks from a second, nbgitpulled repository into a container launched from the first repo.
The branches of this repo define various "MyBinder baseboxes" built to include packages relevant to different subject areas. These boxes are prebuilt and can be used as a basis for running your own notebooks stored in regularly updated repos without having to rebuild the base box each time your notebook repo is updated.
To pull the contents of a repo http://github.com/USER/REPO into a MyBinder container built from a particular binder-base-boxes branch, use a MyBinder URL of the form:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/ouseful-demos/binder-base-boxes/BASEBOXBRANCH/?urlpath=git-pull?repo=https://github.com/USER/REPO
To pull the contents from a particular branch of a repo http://github.com/USER/REPO/tree/BRANCH, use a MyBinder URL of the form:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/ouseful-demos/binder-base-boxes/BASEBOXBRANCH/?urlpath=git-pull?repo=https://github.com/USER/REPO%26amp%3Bbranch=BRANCH
Note the escaping on the & conjunction that keeps it inside the scope of the git-pull?repo phrase.
To pull the contents from a particular branch of a repo http://github.com/USER/REPO/tree/BRANCH and launch into a particular notebook, use a MyBinder URL of the form:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/ouseful-demos/binder-base-boxes/BASEBOXBRANCH/?urlpath=git-pull?repo=https://github.com/USER/REPO%26amp%3Bbranch=BRANCH%26amp%3Bsubpath=FILENAME.ipynb
