What this Hook Does

This hook automatically removes empty code and markdown cells from Jupyter notebooks before they are committed. It helps keep your notebooks clean and version control diffs minimal.

Why use this Tool:

• Avoid noisy diffs from empty cells.
• Keep your notebooks clean and readable, especially in version control.
• Seamlessly integrates with your Git workflow via pre-commit
• Safe to run on mixed repositories — non-.ipynb files are ignored.

Example usage with pre-commit & pip

Add to your .pre-commit-config.yaml in your notebook repository:

- repo: https://github.com/Drew5040/nbstrip-empty-cell
  rev: v0.1.3
  hooks:
    - id: nbstrip-empty-cells

Then install pre-commit in your local repository:

pre-commit install

Update all hook versions:

pre-commit autoupdate

Then run the hook (nbstrip-empty-cells) manually on all files (safe to do so):

pre-commit run --all-files

Installation & Usage via pip & CLI (Optional)

pip install nbstrip-empty-cells
