# Use Git repositories in an EMR Studio Notebook
<a name="emr-git-repo-open"></a>

**Note**  
EMR Notebooks are available as EMR Studio Workspaces in the console. The **Create Workspace** button in the console lets you create new notebooks. To access or create Workspaces, EMR Notebooks users need additional IAM role permissions. For more information, see [Amazon EMR Notebooks are Amazon EMR Studio Workspaces in the console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-managed-notebooks-migration.html) and [Amazon EMR console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/whats-new-in-console.html).

You can choose to **Open in JupyterLab** or **Open in Jupyter** when you open a notebook. 

If you choose to open the notebook in Jupyter, a list of expandable files and folders within the notebook are displayed. You can manually run Git commands like the following in a notebook cell. 

```
!git pull origin primary
```

To open any of the additional repositories, navigate to other folders. 

If you choose to open the notebook with a JupyterLab interface, you can use the pre-installed JupyterLab Git extension. For information about the extension, see [jupyterlab-git](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-git).
