"""
Suppress output and prompt numbers in git version control.

This script will tell git to ignore prompt numbers and cell output
when looking at ipynb files if their metadata contains:

    "git" : { "suppress_output" : true }

The notebooks themselves are not changed.

See also {{ blogpost }}.

Usage instructions
==================

1. Put this script in a directory that is on the system's path.
   For future reference, I will assume you saved it in 
   `~/scripts/ipynb_drop_output`.
2. Make sure it is executable by typing the command
   `chmod +x ~/scripts/ipynb_drop_output`.
3. Register a filter for ipython notebooks by
   putting the following line in `~/.config/git/attributes`:
   `*.ipynb  filter=clean_ipynb`
4. Connect this script to the filter by running the following 
   git commands:

   git config --global filter.clean_ipynb.clean ~/scripts/ipynb_drop_output
   git config --global filter.clean_ipynb.smudge cat

To tell git to ignore the output and prompts for a notebook,
open the notebook's metadata (Edit > Edit Notebook Metadata). A
panel should open containing the lines:

    {
        "name" : "",
        "signature" : "some very long hash"
    }

Add an extra line so that the metadata now looks like:

    {
        "name" : "",
        "signature" : "don't change the hash, but add a comma at the end of the line",
        "git" : { "suppress_outputs" : true }
    }

You may need to "touch" the notebooks for git to actually register a change, if
your notebooks are already under version control.

Notes
=====

This script is inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/a/20844506/827862, but 
lets the user specify whether the ouptut of a notebook should be suppressed
in the notebook's metadata, and works for IPython v3.0.
