need to develop a process that doesn't create .ipynb_checkpoint folder

[SDSTony]

AS-IS: working on Jupyter IDE creates .ipynb_checkpoint folder which is a redundant folder that shouldn't be pushed to the master repo

TO-BE: develop a process that doesn't maintain .ipynb_checkpoint folder on the master repo

Solution1: use VSCode

• problem: jupyter book has additional functions which is more compatible with Jupyter IDE
• need to check if VSCode supports:
  • tagging cells
  • editing functions for MyST Markdowns

Solution2: find a way to ignore folders that contain checkpoint in names when pushing to the master repo

Easy solution: use .gitignore
