Is there an automated way to strip notebook outputs prior to pushing to github?

We have a team that works in Azure Databricks on notebooks.

We are not allowed to push any data to Github per corporate policy.

Instead of everyone having to always remember to clear their notebook outputs prior to commit and push, is there a way this can be automated? Thanks in advance!! : )

I am in the same situation. Curious to know how you resolved this issue.

Hi,

pushing to GitHub isn’t allowed, but clearing notebook outputs before internal version control is still important, you can automate this process by using a pre-commit hook or a script within your internal CI/CD pipeline (if one exists). Tools like nbstripout or pre-commit can be configured to automatically clear outputs from Jupyter/Databricks notebooks before saving or committing. This ensures consistency and avoids manual errors while complying with your policy.
