jupytext: Convert a `.md` file to a notebook and run it.
$ jupytext --to notebook --execute ${notebook-md}
try on your machine

The command "jupytext --to notebook --execute ${notebook-md}" is used to convert a Jupyter Markdown (.md) file to a Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) format and then execute the notebook.

Let's break down each part of the command:

  • "jupytext": This is the command line utility Jupytext, which is used for converting and executing Jupyter notebooks.

  • "--to notebook": This flag specifies the desired output format, which is a Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb).

  • "--execute": This flag tells Jupytext to execute the notebook after converting it. Execution involves running the code cells in the notebook.

  • "${notebook-md}": This is a placeholder for the path or name of the Jupyter Markdown file you want to convert and execute. The "${notebook-md}" suggests it could be a variable that contains the path or name of the Markdown file. You would need to replace this placeholder with the actual file path or name before executing the command.

In summary, running this command will convert a Jupyter Markdown file to a Jupyter Notebook and then execute it, allowing the code cells to be executed and their outputs displayed.
