githubcommit is a jupyter notebook extension enabling users push ipython notebooks to a git repo. The git button gets displayed in the notebook toolbar. After saving any notebook the user can push notebook to pre-specified git repository. There are few environment variables that must be exported. Currently this extension supports commits to a single github repo defined in environment variable but in the long run need help to modify this extension allowing user to select his repo and branch.

You can currently install this directly from git:

pip install git+https://github.com/sat28/githubcommit.git
jupyter serverextension enable --py githubcommit
jupyter nbextension install --py githubcommit

To enable this extension for all notebooks:

jupyter nbextension enable --py githubcommit

• Install package using above commands
• Create Git repo where notebooks will be pushed if not already exists and clone it in your GIT_PARENT_DIR
• Clone this repo as well in your GIT_PARENT_DIR directory
• Replace the values in env.sh present in this repo itself
• Run the command - source ~/githubcommit/env.sh
• Configure ssh key (present in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or specified location) in github account
• Run jupyter notebook from within your repo directory
