GitHub first. Google second.
GitHub is the source-control layer. Google services are optional modules added when they solve a defined operational need.
Google Drive destination
Store approved CSV exports, generated reports, diagrams, or dated archive bundles in a controlled Drive folder rather than placing raw record data in source control.
Colab operator runbook
A notebook can provide a guided interface for approved manual jobs, validation, report generation, and Drive storage without requiring a local workstation.
Separation of concerns
Repository history, data retention, and ad-hoc analysis are different functions. The implementation keeps them separate so the team knows which system owns each artifact.
When not to add Google
Do not add Drive or Colab merely because they are available. Skip the module when the company already has an approved storage destination, a managed backup platform, or restrictions that make Google services inappropriate.
