Run code on Colab GPUs or TPUs and track compute units.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Google Colab CLI

Use `colab` to inspect existing sessions or run work on an accelerator the workstation lacks. The official Colab skill documents every command; this skill owns provider selection, session hygiene, and the spend boundary.

## Authentication

Pass the global `--auth adc` or `--auth oauth2` before every subcommand: CLI 0.7.5 defaults to OAuth, so do not rely on implicit defaults or upstream main. ADC reuses credentials from [gcloud](../gcloud/SKILL.md); for user ADC, run `dot login colab`, which requests the configured ADC grant only when it lacks the Colab scopes and verifies session access (`--dry-run` previews the native commands; the [authentication guide](../dot-cli/references/authentication.md#colab-adc) owns its scopes and semantics). Session state lives under `~/.config/colab-cli/`. Examples assume ADC; substitute `oauth2` for an existing OAuth profile.

## Inspect without allocating

Check `colab version` and installed help, then use `colab --auth adc sessions` and `colab --auth adc status`; they synchronize session metadata without allocating or stopping a VM. Check authentication diagnostics before interpreting an empty listing as success.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmind/dot/colab@sha256:c946c1420aebf465

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ad68ebd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
