How to checkout specific commit version via databricks UI

[reachbharathan]

I have integrated gitlab with my azure databricks repo, I am able to push and pull commits from the databricks UI, I want to checkout to a specific commit version via databricks UI.

Note: I am aware that via the gitlab i have checkout to specific version, I wanted to checkout to specific version of commit via databricks ui as my remote machine can access only via databricks.

The abilities in databricks is pretty li.ited. All you can do is push pull and clone. Youll have to do everything else in gitlab directly.

After getting more context on databricks repo in details,

Currently databricks doesn't support checkout of repo to specific commit.

databricks provides only limited functionality mentioned below

• Add a repo and connect remotely later
• Clone a repo connected to a remote repo
• Pull latest changes from the remote Git repository
• Merge branches
• Rebase a branch on another branch
• Resolve merge conflicts

more reference, https://docs.databricks.com/repos/git-operations-with-repos.html

all other git activity can be done only via the git platform

like checkout to specific version of git.
