Python script to clear output cells from Jupyter notebook (Note: notebook must be saved in JSON format with .ipynb extension)

Use: jupyter-clear-output.py <notebook file>

Optional flag: -f to force run on files without .ipynb extension

Use this to clear outputs from Jupyter notebooks before commiting to Git.

Add jupyter-clear-output.py to .git\hooks\ and the below to .git\hooks\pre-commit:

## Change Path to Python Here: ##

python_path=python

#python_path=~/Anaconda3/python

##

shopt -s nullglob

for i in **/*.ipynb; do

$python_path ./.git/hooks/jupyter-clear-output.py $i

done

for i in *.ipynb; do

$python_path ./.git/hooks/jupyter-clear-output.py $i

done

git add .

Alternatively, use pre-commit.sample file provided (remove .sample extension for use)

Note: Path to python must either be in the environment or replace python with path to your interpreter (ex: ~/Anaconda3/python) in python_path variable
