A CLI for interacting with Google Colab runtimes

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

A command-line interface for Google Colab that provisions CPU, GPU, or TPU runtimes, runs local scripts and notebooks remotely, and manages files on the VM from the terminal. Aimed at developers and automation pipelines that need Colab compute without the browser.

Useful for
  • Run a local training script on a fresh A100 VM and download the resulting weights
  • Execute a Jupyter notebook remotely and export the run history as Markdown
  • Use the CLI as an OpenSSH ProxyCommand to connect an IDE to a Colab runtime

4.9 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 10, 2026, 06:13 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150August 13, 2026November 10, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-10 (UTC), 00:36–06:03: 2136 → 2181 stars (+45). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +123 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 3.4× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 391. +389% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
