Yes let me explain this better.

I have a repository in git.

• The contents of the repo is 3 files (all in the same folder, root):
  • "main" notebook,
  • "utils" notebook
  • requirements.txt.
• The contents of the requirements.txt file specifies the environment needed for me to be able to run the code in my main and utils notebook.
• Because the requirements.txt-file relates directly to the notebooks, I want it to be located close to them (and this is also the standard way of working with any python project).
• When I clone the repo to databricks, I can run my "utils" notebook from my "main" notebook by the magic command %run ./utils
• I cannot however run the magic command %pip install -r requirements

So I just learned that the path to use changes depending on the magic command, but none of the paths I specified in the original text works, but maybe I specified the path incorrectly.

I don't think I quite understand why I can run the utils notebook from the notebook, but not point to a .txt file in the same folder for the sake of version management.
