PMLE Practice Question: Collaborating Within and Across Teams to Manage Data and Models
A team uses Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks. They want to version control their notebook files and collaborate using Git. What is the best way to integrate Git?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse Cloud Storage auto-persistence of the notebook VM with actual Git version control, leading candidates to pick Cloud Source Repositories or manual uploads instead of the built-in integration.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the built-in Git integration in Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks
Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks include native Git integration through the JupyterLab Git extension, allowing users to clone repositories, commit, push, and pull directly from the notebook UI without leaving the environment. This is the officially supported and most seamless method for version-controlling notebooks in managed notebooks, supporting GitHub, Cloud Source Repositories, and any Git-compatible remote.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use Cloud Source Repositories only
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Source Repositories can be used but requires manual setup; built-in Git integration supports any Git provider.
- ✓
Use the built-in Git integration in Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks
Why this is correct
Managed notebooks include native Git integration, exposing repository cloning, credential handling and commit or push controls through the interface. This satisfies version control and collaboration requirements without manual command-line setup, unlike unmanaged instances where git must be configured by hand.
- ✗
Use gcloud source repos clone inside the terminal
Why it's wrong here
Possible but less integrated.
- ✗
Manually download notebooks and upload to GitHub via browser
Why it's wrong here
Not integrated, prone to errors.
