Notebook Git Diff

A VS Code extension that shows readable diffs for Jupyter notebooks instead of confusing JSON when viewing Git history.

What it does

When you view notebook changes in Git Graph, instead of seeing raw JSON diff, you get a clean side-by-side comparison of notebook cells - just like VS Code's regular diff view but for notebooks.

How to use

  1. Install the Git Graph extension
  2. Open Git Graph in your repository
  3. Click on any commit that changed a .ipynb file
  4. Click on the notebook file in the diff - this extension automatically opens a readable diff

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.101.0+
  • Git Graph extension
  • Git command line tools

Installation

Install from the VS Code Extensions Marketplace (search for "Notebook Git Diff") or build from source:

git clone <repository-url>
cd ipynb-git-diff
npm install
npm run compile

Then press F5 to run the extension in a new VS Code window.
