Description: 
        # ssh_Colab
        ssh_Colab is a Python module to facilitate remote access to Google Colaboratory
        (Colab) through Secure Shell (SSH) connections, secured by a third-party
        software, ngrok. ssh_Colab automates the tedious routine to set up ngrok
        tunnels needed for TPU runtime applications and services like TensorBoard. It also
        includes the function to automate the routine of Kaggle API installation/authentication
        and download competition data.

        # Prerequisites
        - [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) tunnel authtoken.
        - Google account to access a [Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb) notebook.
        - Local code editors such as VS Code or PyCharm to make the most of coding on Colab.
        # Usage
        1. Launch a Colab notebook. Choose a runtime type you prefer.
        
        2. Install ssh_Colab. Type and run the following command in a notebook cell:
           ```shell
           !pip install ssh_Colab
           ```
           
        3. Initiate the establishment of tunnels:
           ```python
           import ssh_Colab
           ssh_Colab.connect()
           ```
           The default TensorBoard log directory is `/log/fit`. You can reset it by
           passing into `connect()` the new value `LOG_DIR=/new/path/to/log`.
           
        4. Retrieve information that is used for establishing the SSH connection:
           ```python
           ssh_Colab.info()
           ```
           If you are using non-TPU runtimes, the setup instruction of TPU resolver is
           ignored.
        
        5. Function `kaggle()` to automate most of the process of Kaggle API installation/authentication and download and unzip competition dataset to folder `/kaggle/input`. The default competition name is "tabular-playground-series-mar-2021."
        
           ```python
           ssh_Colab.kaggle([data='name-of-competition'])
           ```
        
           
        
        6. To disable ngrok tunnels created, run the command below:
           ```python
           ssh_Colab.kill()
           ```
        
        # Quickstart
        A quickstart Colab notebook template is provided in the link below. Users can
        find a simple end-to-end application starting from SSH-Colab installation, SSH
        tunnel creation, to the use of TensorBoard after training a 3-layer MNIST
        convolutional neural network.

        What's missed in this quickstart is how to may our way to Colab instances from
        local machines. The reference listed below can be a start point for interested
        users:
