What is it?
jupyterlab-autoversion adds automatic versioning to notebooks opened in JupyterLab. Instead of relying on a single checkpoint, each save creates a new revision that is kept between server restarts, so earlier states of a notebook remain available.
The extension also lets you diff the current notebook against previously saved versions, making it easier to see what changed and when. It is a Python package installed as a JupyterLab extension and published on PyPI.
Key features
- 01Creates a versioned checkpoint on every notebook save.
