nbdime - differ between current and checkpointed version of notebook

[Tony Hirst]

Hi

Is there a way of using nbdime in association with checkpoints? Eg can I manually save a copy of the notebook then compare the current version with a checkpointed version using nbdime?

PS is there user guide info anywhere about how autosave,  manula save, checkpointing etc works (and extent to which is is customisable)?

Not overly familiar with how checkpoints work, but as far as I
understand it, by default they are saved in a folder
".ipynb_checkpoints" next to the notebook. If you diff these with the
"normal" notebook you should get what you want:

nbdiff[-web] mynotebook.ipynb .ipynb_checkpoints/mynotebook-checkpoint.ipynb

Hope that helps!
