My Synapse Workspace is configured with GitHub. The code is organized in folders under "NoteBook". Example: Under Notebook, Dev1 folder contains notebook1 and notebook2. Dev2 folder contains notebook3 and notebook4

When Synapse Publishes, the GitHub Repo does not maintain the folder structure. All 4 files are under "repo_name/notebook/ notebook1, notebook2,notebook3, notebook4

How can do I configure Synapse GitHub to keep the folder structure?

The short answer is you don't. When you save a notebook (or SQL script, or anything else for that matter), you are actually saving a JSON representation of the asset. The "folders" in Synapse are not actually folders, but rather properties in the JSON:

This is why file names need to be globally unique, so you can't have two "Notebook1" files in different folders. Again, same for SQL scripts, datasets, pipelines, etc.

  • Hi Joel. Thx for the quick explanation. My support requirements: 1) I need to create a new Synapse Workspace from this GitHub repo with the latest version or a "labeled/tagged" previous version. 2) Use this GitHub repo and populate a Databricks Workspace. What are the steps for these 2 requirements. Thx. – G. Young Jan 25 '23 at 18:40
  • I don't have any advice for that scenario. I recommend you create a new question that addresses that specifically, maybe someone else has some insights. – Joel Cochran Jan 25 '23 at 19:57
