+### Can you create a new remote through the terminal without using the github ui?
+
+If you knew the URL of the remote, yes, if the remote is on GitHub, you have to use either github.com in your browser or use the `gh cli` tool's command [`gh repo create`](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_repo_create)
+
+### How is jupyterbook different than other ides or editors?
+
+`jupyter-book` is not an editor or IDE, it is a tool for building websites or pdfs. 
+
+Jupyter Notebook is a single stream of computational analysis. Jupyter Lab is a more IDE like interface for doing compuational analyses. Both are part of [project jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) and [on GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter)
+
+[Jupyter book](https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/intro.html) is for publishing book like documents as websites and to other forms designed to be compatible with jupyter notebooks, but is a part of a separate [executable books](https://github.com/executablebooks) project.  It is specialized for cases where there is computation in the code.  See [their gallery]() for examples.  I use it for [CSC310 that has code and plots in the notes](https://rhodyprog4ds.github.io/BrownFall22/notes/2022-09-21.html)
+
+[Jupyter-book is an opinionated distribution](https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/explain/sphinx.html#:~:text=opinionated%20distribution%20of%20Sphinx) of  [sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) which can also be used to document other languages like [C++](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/clear-functional-c-documentation-with-sphinx-breathe-doxygen-cmake/)
+
+### What is the .doctrees/ folder inside _build/ with files like environment.pickle?
+
+That is an intermediate step between the markdown and the final HTML. 
+
+There is [api level docs](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/extdev/nodes.html)
+
+### Why is building necessary? Couldn't it just be a part of compiling?
+
+
+Building is a more general process of transforming from source to an output format. Compling is a specific step withing building for some programming languages.  We will learn more about the build process for C later. 
+
+What we did today was building, but not compiling. 
+
+### What other uses are there for jupyter notebook
+
+The course website is an example. They also maintain a [gallery of jupyter books](https://executablebooks.org/en/latest/gallery/)
+
+### Did we create a repo locally?
+
+yes `git init .` created a repo locally
+
+### How to add more files and sections to your Jupyter Books website
+
+
+Create more files in the folder and then update the `_toc.yml`.  For example, this whole website is jupyter book, see how many files are in the [repo](https://github.com/compsys-progtools/spring2024/)
