💖 NAME 💖

git-nbmergedriver — a git merge driver for notebooks, bestie ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: you've got a notebook, you've got a merge conflict, and git is about to hand you a giant wall of raw JSON to hand-fix. absolutely not. 🙅‍♀️

Here's the whole vibe — the usage looks like this:

git-nbmergedriver [-h] [--version] [--config] [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL}] {merge,config} ...

A git merge driver for notebooks. that's the whole thing, that's the girl. 👑

It uses nbdime to merge notebooks instead of plain text merges of JSON. so instead of git crying over braces, nbdime actually understands your cells. literally iconic. 💅

heads up though — this requires the following to be set in .gitattributes so it can correctly identify filetypes with the driver:

*.ipynb
       merge=jupyternotebook

no cap, if that's not in there it just won't know what to do with your .ipynb files. set it up, thank yourself later. 🫶

Enable it in your global git config with:

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

Use it with:

git merge [<commit> [<commit>]]

that's it. that's the workflow. go off. 🌈

🦋 positional arguments

• {merge,config} — pick your fighter: merge or config. those are the two moves. 🎯

✨ options

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. ✌️
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. quick lil flex. 📌
• --config — lists the valid config keys and their current effective values. a full rundown of what's actually set rn. 🧾
• --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL} — sets the log level by name. pick how chatty you want it to be, from DEBUG (spills everything) all the way to CRITICAL (only the big stuff). 🔥

that's the whole page, and it's from git-nbmergedriver 4.0.4, dated February 2026 — so you know it's fresh 💖 mwah, go merge some notebooks, you got this 🎀✨
