How to create and open a jupyter notebook ipynb file directly from terminal

Question

The command jupyter notebook will open the Jupyter directory tree page where you can create a ipynb file.

Is there a way to skip that page and create and open the ipynb file directly on the browser?

I was thinking something like jupyter notebook mynotebook.ipynb

Answer 1

Open notebook in browser

jupyter notebook <notebook>.ipynb 

Create empty, minimal notebook:

"""create-notebook.py    Creates a minimal jupyter notebook (.ipynb)    Usage: create-notebook <notebook> """ import sys from notebook import transutils as _ from notebook.services.contents.filemanager import FileContentsManager as FCM  try:     notebook_fname = sys.argv[1].strip('.ipynb') except IndexError:     print("Usage: create-notebook <notebook>")     exit()  notebook_fname += '.ipynb'  # ensure .ipynb suffix is added FCM().new(path=notebook_fname) 

Alias create-notebook script:

alias create-notebook='python $(pwd)/create-notebook.py' 

Putting it all together

create-notebook my_notebook && jupyter notebook my_notebook.ipynb
