Handle notebook metadata

[b-biswas]

Is there a way to automatically manage the notebook metadata so that CI can also run smoothly?

Hi @b-biswas thanks for creating this issue. Could you be a bit more specific on what problem you are having?

One option which I'm not sure if it is what you had in mind is to use nbstripout in the pre-commit. We could set it so that it only strips out meta-data and not the output of each cell.

Hi @ismael-mendoza, In my previous PR I was facing an issue when uploading the notebooks because my notebook kernel has a different name.
@aboucaud proposed something quite similar (https://github.com/datarootsio/databooks
available in https://pre-commit.com/hooks.html) to remove the metadata.

But if we completely remove the metadata won't it be a problem to run the CI?

I think it should be OK - let me try it out in a PR
