Introduction to workspaces
This document helps you understand the concept of workspaces in BigQuery. You can use workspaces within repositories to edit the code stored in the repository. Repositories perform version control on files by using Git to record changes and manage file versions.
On the BigQuery page, your workspaces are displayed in alphabetical order under the repository they are associated with. Repositories are displayed in the Repositories folder of the Explorer pane.
Supported file types
You can create or upload the following types of files to a repository:
As you create and modify files in a workspace, you can perform Git actions like committing changes and pushing changes to the repository. For more information, see Use version control with a file.
Locations
Each workspace uses the same location as the repository that contains it.
