Jupyter and GITs

[alexandergar...@gmail.com]

Hi. I am looking for a way to get a Jupyter notebook directly from the information in a git repo. the idea is simply that the Jupyter is built automatically from information in the git repo. it could for instance be by taking text from the MD files, or having the specs for the Jupyter in a text file, etc. anyone could point me to related experiences?

Hi Alexander,

As I understand, you are looking for something that will take code and text files in an existing Git repository and somehow automagically create a .ipynb file from them. I am not aware of any project/tool out there that does exactly what you want. However, the Jupyter Notebook format is pretty well-defined and in fact you can probably re-use the nbformat Python module to code something up for this. See https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat/tree/master/nbformat/v4. I imagine you can re-use the functions like `new_code_cell` and `new_markdown_cell`.

nbformat/nbformat/v4 at master · jupyter/nbformat · GitHub You signed in with another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session. You signed out in another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session. github.com

If by chance you are actually looking for a way to generate a Jupyter Notebook server from a Git repository, which is a different problem, that is something that repo2docker can do: https://github.com/jupyter/repo2docker

GitHub - jupyter/repo2docker: Turn git repositories into Jupyter enabled Docker Images - The world's leading software development platform · GitHub repo2docker fetches a git repository and builds a container image based on the configuration files found in the repository. See the repo2docker documentation for more information on using repo2docker. See the contributing guide for information on contributing to repo2docker. See our roadmap to learn ... github.com

Hope that helps!

Also, after some curious searching, I found this project, which may also help. You would have to represent your Notebooks as a .py file, but perhaps that would work for you: https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext
