NBSHOW(1)

✨ NAME ✨

nbshow — bestie, it shows a Jupyter notebook right there in your terminal 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe. the usage line is literally:

usage: nbshow [-h] [--version] [--config]

       [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL}] [-s] [-o] [-a]
       [-m] [-i] [-d] [notebook ...]

It shows a Jupyter notebook in your terminal, periodt. By default it's showing ALL the notebook fields — the whole thing, no holding back 💅 Limit it to specific fields by passing options, that's the whole game.

🫶 positional arguments

• notebook — notebook filename(s), or - if you wanna read from stdin. yeah, a literal dash. iconic.

🎀 options

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon.
• --version — show program's version number and exit.
• --config — list the valid config keys and their current effective values. lowkey so useful.
• --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,ERROR,CRITICAL} — set the log level by name.

💜 ignorables

Set which parts of the notebook (not) to show. that's the whole bit.

• -s, --sources, -S, --ignore-sources — show/ignore sources.
• -o, --outputs, -O, --ignore-outputs — show/ignore outputs.
• -a, --attachments, -A, --ignore-attachments — show/ignore attachments.
• -m, --metadata, -M, --ignore-metadata — show/ignore metadata.
• -i, --id, -I, --ignore-id — show/ignore identifiers.
• -d, --details, -D, --ignore-details — show/ignore details not covered by other options.

ngl bestie, notice the pattern: lowercase means show, uppercase means ignore. the way that symmetry ate 😭👑
