+# How to set up a Git Repository via JupyterLab-Gallery
+
+[JupyterLab-Gallery ](https://github.com/nebari-dev/jupyterlab-gallery) is a JupyterLab plugin
+that allows users to share a Git Repository. JupyterLab users are presented with a tile in
+the JupyterLab launch screen. Users can choose to download the Exhibit.
+
+By default, if no JupyterLab-Gallery items are added to the config, users will not see this section
+in the JupyterLab Launcher.
+
+This feature was added to Nebari in the 2024.6.1 release.
+
+## Configure JupyterLb-Gallery
+
+In Nebari, the JupyterLab-Gallery configuration is set in the Nebari configuration, `nebari-config.yaml`.
+
+The configuration is set under the `jupyterlab` section under the subsection `gallery_settings`.
+Users may set a title for the Gallery section of the Launcher screen and a destination (i.e. folder)
+for the location of the cloned repos.
+
+Several repositories can be configured to display as individual gallery tiles. Under the `exhibits`
+section, each repository must have a `title` and a `git` location. There are also several other
+optional config options.
+
+The configuration is set at two different levels. Top level gallery settings define the title of
+the Gallery section and the location in which the repositories are downloaded. The repository
+level settings are defined for each repository. The settings in each section are described
+below.
+
+**Top Level Gallery Settings**
+
+| Section     | Description                                        |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| title       | Title on the gallery tile                          |
+| destination | Location on disk where the repo will be downloaded |
+
+**Repository Level Settings**
+
+| Section     | Description                                                                         |
+| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| title       | Title on the gallery tile                                                           |
+| git         | URL of the git repository                                                           |
+| homepage    | (Optional)                                                                          |
+| description | Description of the repository to appear on the gallery tile (Optional)              |
+| icon        | URL or base64 encoded image to use an icon to appear on the gallery tile (Optional) |
+| account     | (Optional)                                                                          |
+| token       | Private Access Token to enable access to private repositories (Optional)            |
+
+### Sample configuration
+
+Below is an example of the Gallery settings from the `nebari-config.yaml`. Note that \<encoding\>
+and \<PAT\> should be replaced with the actual encoding and Private Access Token, respectively.
+
+```
+jupyterlab:
+  gallery_settings:

+    destination: demos

+      icon: "data:image/png;base64,<encoding>"

+      homepage: https://github.com/Quansight/ragna-presentations/
+    - title: Private Examples
+      description: Internal company examples
+      icon: "data:image/png;base64,<encoding>"
+      git: https://gitlab....net/companyxyz/examples.git
+      account: examples
+      token: "<PAT>"
+```
+
+## Using JupyterLab-Gallery
+
+Once the repositories are configured in the Nebari config and redeployed, all users will have
+a section on their JupyterLab Launcher screen for the Gallery.
+
+![JupyterLab Gallery tiles on JupyterLab Launcher screen](/img/how-tos/jupyter-gallery-tiles.png)
+
+Each tile points to a different gallery entry in the configuration. The Gallery repositories
+will not be downloaded until users trigger the download for each gallery item. To do so, users
+will hover over the tile and click the download button.
+
+![JupyterLab Gallery tile on hover for undownloaded repo](/img/how-tos/jupyter-gallery-tile-download.png)
+
+The repository will download to the location specified in the config (in each user's private
+space). After the download is complete, hover on the gallery tile present the users with two
+new options - the folder icon allows them to jump to the location in the JupyterLab file browser,
+and the download button allows them to fetch an updated copy of the repo (if available).
