Saving complete notebooks to GitHub from Databricks repos.

[Serhii]

When saving notebook to GiHub repo, it is stripped to Python source code. Is it possible to save it in the ipynb formt?

as git is a repository for source code it is logical it is converted to py files as these can be run as a job.

Is this what you look for?

Exactly - thanks for pointing out!

you can also use the databricks cli. There is a jupyter format option.

The notesbooks save to git are in .py format. The code that is markdown or magic commands get commented out. If you reload it as a notebook, then it will render that markdown and code again. Here is what the python would look like

# Databricks notebook source
# INCLUDE_HEADER_TRUE
# INCLUDE_FOOTER_TRUE
 
# COMMAND ----------
 
# MAGIC %md 
# MAGIC # Databricks Platform
# MAGIC

When I save+commit+push my .ipynb file to my linked git repo, I noticed that only the cell inputs are saved, not the output.  This differs from the .ipynb file I get when I choose "File / Export / iPython Notebook".  Is there a way to save the cell outputs in my git commit as well?
