jupyter-notebook-gist

NOTE: This project is currently unmaintained, if anyone would like to take over maintenance please let us know.

Create a gist from the Jupyter Notebook UI.

Installation

To install, simply run:

pip install jupyter-notebook-gist
jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyter_notebook_gist
jupyter nbextension install --py jupyter_notebook_gist
jupyter nbextension enable --py jupyter_notebook_gist
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

The last step is needed to enable the widgetsnbextension extension that Jupyter-Notebook-Gist depends on. It may have been enabled before by a different extension.

You may want to append --user to the commands above if you're getting configuration errors upon invoking them.

To double-check if the extension was correctly installed run:

jupyter nbextension list
jupyter serverextension list

To uninstall the extension run:

jupyter serverextension disable --py jupyter_notebook_gist
jupyter nbextension disable --py jupyter_notebook_gist
jupyter nbextension uninstall --py jupyter_notebook_gist
pip uninstall jupyter-notebook-gist

Configuration

After installing, edit your jupyter_notebook_config.py file to specify the GitHub client id and secret.

If your jupyter_notebook_config.py file does not exist, you can create one by running jupyter notebook --generate-config. You can check the location of this file by running jupyter --config-dir.

c.NotebookGist.oauth_client_id = "my_client_id"         # FIXME
c.NotebookGist.oauth_client_secret = "my_client_secret" # FIXME

Replace the vars above with a working GitHub client id and secret. You can create one here.

Here's an example of an OAuth application created by @mreid-moz for testing.

Then run jupyter notebook from the repo root.

Alternatively you can also pass the GitHub client id and secret as command line parameters when you run the notebook (please fill the placeholders accordingly):

jupyter notebook --NotebookGist.oauth_client_id="<my_client_id>" --NotebookGist.oauth_client_secret="<my_client_secret>"
