Should we be committing the .ipynb_checkpoints directory into Git or SVN version control for an IPython Notebook?

No, you should not. Checkpoints are temporary snapshots of your notebooks, in case anything goes wrong (e.g. power outage, etc). This of a checkpoint as the result of saving your notebook. Do you commit each time you make a change and save your that change to disk?

  • I see. Thanks. I usually commit changes after I have finished an important section of my notebook. Commented Mar 15, 2015 at 14:39
