nbclear

A tool (and pre-commit hook) to automatically remove the output from all code cells in all Jupyter notebooks.

Installation

pip install nbclear

As a pre-commit hook

See pre-commit for instructions

Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml:

-   repo: https://github.com/ozen/nbclear
    rev: v0.1.0
    hooks:
    -   id: nbclear

Behavior

The tool opens the notebook and clears the outputs of cells in the memory.
If there are no changes in the notebook, it quits without further action.
If there are changes, it moves the original file notebook.ipynb to notebook.ipynb~ and saves the cleared notebook to notebook.ipynb.
If the backup cannot be created, it prints the error and quits.
