strip output and metadata from your .ipynb as a git filter

ipynb_filter.py: using nbconvert to remove the a notebook's output on each commit to not clutter up your Git history.

• + No external dependencies, if you have Jupyter notebook installed you will have nbconvert
• - A bit slow, ~150 ms
• - need to make sure that every contributor uses it (otherwise it will result in conflicts)

Usage, install and forget

Option 1 (fast)

Run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basnijholt/ipynb_git_filters/master/ipynb_filter.py && echo "*.ipynb filter=ipynb_filter" >> .gitattributes && python ipynb_filter.py

Option 2 (manual, slow)

1. Copy ipynb_filter.py into your project root
2. Add the following line to your .gitattributes: *.ipynb filter=ipynb_filter
3. run python ipynb_filter.py
