How to save Jupyter notebooks from GitHub
When I download an ipynb file using the RAW button in GitHub it displays the text (json) in the browser.
Should I just copy this text into a file and name it xxx.ipynb ? What’s the best way to do it?

- First click on Raw
- Then, press ctrl+s to save it as .ipynb (Note that you’ll have to manually type ‘.ipynb’ after the file name to make this work, as files from GitHub are saved as text files as default.)
- Open jupyter notebook
- Go to location where you saved .ipynb file
- Open file, you will see the code
Hope this helps
Here is the Lifesaver Extension developed by me for both
- Chrome
- Firefox
The project is open-sourced here.
The extension not only opens github hosted notebooks in Colab but also in nbviewer!
And you can open the github repo from Colab and nbviewer And go to nbviewer from Colab and github Works all 3 ways!!
A new feature of opening new notebooks in one-click is already developed in the master branch, just need to push it to the extension platforms 🙂
How to download a Jupyter Notebook from GitHub?
I am working on a data science project inside of a Pandas tutorial. I can access my Jupyter notebooks through my Anaconda installation. The only problem is that the tutorial notebooks (exercise files) are on GitHub.
My question: how do I download the exercise files from GitHub and then have them display in the Jupyter notebook section on my computer so that I can use them interactively?
I am very new to Jupyter Notebooks. So far, I have been using PyCharm to execute all of my code.
Downloading Jupyter notebooks from GitHub #10
When you download an ipynb file using the RAW button in GitHub it displays the text int the browser. This is json code and contains all of the jupyter notebook cells. You can copy this text into a file and name it with the extension ipynb and it will contain the notebook when using it with Jupyter.
This is a little clunky so another options is:
- Launch an instance of the mybinder service
- Navigate to the notebook of interest
- Right Click and select Download linked file as
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
First click on Raw.
Then, press ctrl+s to save it as .ipynb.
Open jupyter notebook.
Go to the location where you saved .ipynb file.
Open file, you will see the code.
Thanks..this is working
Thank you
If the first step (that is click on RAW) doesnot do anything (as it didnot work for me), so there is an alternative. The alternative step is to click on pencil icon (to Edit) which will show the code. So copy the contents in a notepad and save as .ipynb instead of .txt. (pls cancel the edit after you have saved the content in a file in your local computer). Then open the file in jupyter it will work like you wanted it to be. Hope this helps !
