What Hacker News says

We all know .ipynb JSON format is not a great fit for Git. The Jupyter ecosystem has come a long way in the last few years. Solving this really comes down to a few tools - - JupyterLab Git Extension[1] for local diffs (pre-commit diffs) - nbdime[2] / nbdev[3] for resolving .ipynb git merge conflicts - GitHub PR code reviews with ReviewNB[4] - Alternatively, if you don't care about cell outputs then Jupytext[5] to sync .ipynb JSON to markdown Disclaimer: I built ReviewNB. It's a completely bootstrapped business, 5 years in the making and now used by leading DS teams at Meta, AWS, NASA JPL, AirBnB, Lyft, Affirm, AMD, Microsoft & more[6] for Jupyter Notebook code reviews on GitHub / Bitbucket.

In The Jupyter+Git problem is now solved (2022)
Here are tools people commonly use for notebook version control with git - [1] nbdime to view local diffs & merge changes [2] jupytext for 2-way sync between notebook & markdown/scripts [3] JupyterLab git extension for git clone / pull / push & see visual diffs [4] Jupyerlab gitplus to create GitHub PRs from JupyterLab [5] ReviewNB for reviewing & diff'ing notebook PRs / Commits on GitHub Disclaimer: While I’m the author of last two (GitPlus & ReviewNB), I’ve represented the overall landscape in an unbiased way. I've been working on this specific problem for 3+ years & regularly talk to teams who use GitHub with notebooks.
