Steps

To create a GitHub repo to connect Sagemaker to

• Create a repo for where the notebook instances will be stored from Sagemaker
• If secrets manager is needed, then create a Personal Access Token in the GitHub repo by going to settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Generate new token. Choose an expiration date for the token and select the scope to be just repo, which gives full control of private repositories. Click on Generate new token and copy the result.

To connect the repo to Sagemaker

• Go to the Sagemaker console and under the notebooks section, select Git repositories. Click on Add repository.
• Choose the name for the Sagemaker repository name (it might be easier to choose the same name as the GitHub repo)
• Add the repository URL. This can be obtained by going to the code section of the repo, clicking on the green code button on the top right, and copying the url found in the HTTPS section
• In the Git credentials, select the Create secret tick, add the desired secret name, your username and the generated Personal Access Token from GitHub. Click on Create secret button once finished
• Click on the Add repository button at the bottom

Once the connection is made between the Github repo and Sagemaker a Notebook instance can be made

• Choose the desired selections needed for the Jupyter Notebook
• In the Git repositories section, click on the dropdown menu and select the repository that was connected to Sagemaker using the steps listed above
• Finish creating the notebook by clicking the Create notebook instance button found at the bottom
