jupyterlab-git

A JupyterLab extension for version control using git

To see the extension in action, open the example notebook included in the Binder demo.

Prerequisites

• JupyterLab

Usage

• Open the git extension from the Git tab on the left panel

Install

To install perform the following steps:

pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git
jupyter lab build

Troubleshooting

Before consulting the following list, be sure the server extension and the frontend extension have the same version by executing the following commands:

jupyter serverextension list
jupyter labextension list

• Issue: the Git panel does not recognize that you are in a Git repository.

  Possible fixes:

  • Be sure to be in a Git repository in the filebrowser tab

  • Check the server log. If you see a warning with a 404 code similar to:
    [W 00:27:41.800 LabApp] 404 GET /git/server_root?1576081660665

    Explicitly enable the server extension by running:

    jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyterlab_git

  • If you are using JupyterHub or some other technologies requiring an initialization script which includes the jupyterlab-git extension, be sure to install both the frontend and the server extension before launching JupyterLab.

• Issue: the Git panel is not visible.

  Possible fixes:

  • Check that the JupyterLab extension is installed:

    jupyter labextension list

    If you don't see @jupyterlab/git v... enabled OK in the list, explicitly install the jupyter labextension by running:

    jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/git
