Get Binder to build for this repo

• https://binderhub.ssl-hep.org/
• https://github.com/binder-examples/demo-julia but we need some fix

here's a POC.

@graeme-a-stewart @aoanla what you guys think?

I got permission from ssl-hep people we can use their resource for our workshop. This way people can skip installing Julia if they want to.

and you can use CERN or University log in

Hi @Moelf - it's a great idea (not that Julia is hard to install), but anything that lowers the barrier to entry I like a lot.

Practically, will this work with the way we have the repo setup now, or do we need to move the training material down to the root of the repo?

[Moelf]

the only thing we need is Project.toml and Manifest.toml at the repo's root directory. Ideally, these should include everything any notebook in the repo that users will need.

But if you have some specific Project.toml, and if you include some using Pkg; magic as part of the notebook, that should also just work. They just have to install more stuff on the fly

[graeme-a-stewart]

I think we just move the Project.toml from julia-intro to the root. I just put it there in case we added other material - but if we do that we can just have the superset.

Adding Pkg stuff to the top of every notebook is a bit tedious and easy to forget (we have rather a lot of notebooks and I like that style, to keep each notebook focused on a specific topic).

[Moelf]

yeah, pin me once the repo is ready and I can test it and also walk you through so you can try it as well.

Just waiting for @aoanla to merge the additional content

[tamasgal]

Yeah, this is a really good idea.

I think we can live with a single Project.toml and Manifast.toml pair...

[graeme-a-stewart]

Hi - having merged #8 this is now good to test

[Moelf]

It looks like you can't access private github repo unless you control the Binderhub instance and supply it with an access token. So we need to become public in order to test that

[graeme-a-stewart]

@tamasgal - do you have an objection to making this repo public? I can't really see any reason to have it private and it's causing issues with binder (and also setting branch protections).
