Binder Documentation¶
Binder allows you to create custom computing environments that can be shared and used by many remote users. It is powered by BinderHub, which is an open-source tool that deploys the Binder service in the cloud. One such deployment lives at mybinder.org, and is free to use. For more information about the mybinder.org deployment and the team that runs it, see About mybinder.org.
