GIT-NBDIFFDRIVER(1)

✨ GIT-NBDIFFDRIVER ✨

okay bestie, welcome to git-nbdiffdriver from the User Commands corner of your manual — it's a git diff driver for notebooks and honestly? it ate. 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

git-nbdiffdriver — a git diff driver for notebooks. yes that's the whole name, she's simple, she's iconic. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the usage, verbatim, no notes:

usage: git-nbdiffdriver [-h] [--version] [--config]

[--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL}]
       {diff,webdiff,config} ...

A git diff driver for notebooks. periodt. 🦋

The whole vibe: it uses nbdime to create diffs for notebooks instead of plain text diffs of JSON. like, actual notebook-aware diffs, not just staring at raw JSON until you cry. 😭

⚠️ but listen — this requires the following to be set in .gitattributes so filetypes get correctly identified with the driver:

• *.ipynb → diff=jupyternotebook

(that's the pairing, keep them together, they're a duo 🫶)

---

enable it in your global git config 💖

git-nbdiffdriver config --enable [--global | --system]

use it like 💜

git diff [<commit> [<commit>]]

---

🧚 positional arguments 🧚

• {diff,webdiff,config} — the three subcommands you can pick from, pick your fighter 🌈

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exit. bye. 👋
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits, a lil flex ngl 💅
• --config — lists the valid config keys AND their current effective values. receipts, basically. 🧾✨
• --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL} — sets the log level by name. choose your chaos level, from DEBUG (tell me everything) to CRITICAL (only scream if the building's on fire) 💀🔥
