Introduction to workspaces

This document helps you understand the concept of workspaces in BigQuery. You can use workspaces within repositories to edit the code stored in the repository. Repositories perform version control on files by using Git to record changes and manage file versions.

On the BigQuery page, your workspaces are displayed in alphabetical order under the repository they are associated with. Repositories are displayed in the Repositories folder of the Explorer pane.

Supported file types

You can create or upload the following types of files to a repository:

For more information, see Work with files in a workspace.

Git integration

As you create and modify files in a workspace, you can perform Git actions like committing changes and pushing changes to the repository. For more information, see Use version control with a file.

Locations

Each workspace uses the same location as the repository that contains it.

Quotas

Dataform quotas apply to use of BigQuery workspaces.

Pricing

You are not charged for creating, updating, or deleting a workspace, or for storage of the files in a workspace.
