jupyter-notebooks — GitHub Copilot plugin: what it does
This plugin puts Jupyter notebooks inside an interactive GitHub Copilot canvas: create, edit, run, save and checkpoint them without leaving the editor.
copilot plugin install jupyter-notebooks@awesome-copilotWhat jupyter-notebooks does
The plugin adds an interactive canvas for Jupyter notebooks to GitHub Copilot. You can create a notebook, edit cells, run the code, save the file and set a checkpoint, all from the same place. No browser tab with jupyter lab in the middle.
Install takes one command: copilot plugin install jupyter-notebooks@awesome-copilot. The plugin ships under the MIT license as part of the Awesome Copilot collection, written by Pierce Boggan.
Checkpoints are the part worth knowing about. Set one before you touch a cell that runs a long calculation, and you have a state to come back to when the numbers go sideways. If your notebook work already lives in a browser session you are happy with, this plugin adds little.
What it helps with
- create a Jupyter notebook inside the Copilot canvas
- edit and run cells without opening a browser
- save a notebook and checkpoint it before an edit
- roll back to a saved state when a calculation breaks
Example prompts for the agent
- create a Jupyter notebook for data analysis and run the first cell
- set a checkpoint before I change the calculation cell
- save the notebook and show what changed after the run
