Introduction to workspaces

Workspaces in BigQuery let you edit and manage code stored in repositories. Within a workspace, you can create and modify files while the parent repository uses Git to record changes and manage file versions.

For a folder-based version control experience, we recommend using BigQuery Studio Git repositories. This integration lets you work with Git branches directly in the BigQuery Studio file browser and clone multiple repositories at once without managing separate workspaces.

View workspaces

On the BigQuery page, your workspaces are displayed in alphabetical order under the repository they are associated with. To view repositories, do the following:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the left pane, click Source control.
