nbcommands bring the goodness of Unix commands to Jupyter notebooks.

## Installation

You can simply use pip to install nbcommands:


$ pip install nbcommands



or conda:


$ conda install -c conda-forge nbcommands



## Usage

nbcommands installs the following commands which let you interact with your Jupyter notebooks without spinning up a notebook server.

- `nbtouch`: Update the access and modification times of each Jupyter notebook to the current time.

    

    $ nbtouch notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb

    ![nbtouch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbtouch.gif)


- `nbgrep`: Search for a pattern in Jupyter notebooks.

    

    $ nbgrep "os" notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb

    $ nbgrep "os" directory/

    ![nbgrep](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbgrep.gif)


- `nbhead`: Print the first 5 cells of a Jupyter notebook to standard output.

    

    $ nbhead notebook1.ipynb

    ![nbhead](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbhead.gif)


    Note: You can also specify the number of cells you want to print using the `-n` option.

    

    $ nbhead -n 10 notebook1.ipynb


- `nbtail`: Print the last 5 cells of a Jupyter notebook to standard output.

    

    $ nbtail notebook2.ipynb

    ![nbtail](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbtail.gif)


    Note: You can also specify the number of cells you want to print using the `-n` option.

    

    $ nbtail -n 10 notebook2.ipynb


- `nbcat`: Concatenate Jupyter notebooks to standard output.

    

    $ nbcat notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb

    ![nbcat](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbcat.gif)


    Note: You can create a new notebook by concatenating multiple notebooks using the `-o` option.

    

    $ nbcat notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb -o notebook3.ipynb


- `nbless`: Print a Jupyter notebook using a pager program.

    

    $ nbless notebook1.ipynb

    ![nbless](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbless.gif)


And some non-Unix goodness,

- `nbblack`: Blacken Jupyter notebooks.

    

    $ nbblack notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb

    ![nbblack](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinayak-mehta/nbcommands/master/docs/_static/nbblack.gif)


---

Planned enhancements:

- `nbstrip`: Strip outputs from Jupyter notebooks.

- `nbdiff`: Find the diff between two Jupyter notebooks.

- `nbecho`: Add a code cell to a Jupyter notebook.

- `nbedit`: Interactively edit a Jupyter notebook.

- `nbtime`: Run and time a Jupyter notebook.

- `nbwc`: Print word count for a Jupyter notebook.
