Answer 1

Hello @VT , Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform. You have two ask here , for pulling in the all the files in a particular brach , you can use the "fetch" feature in Azure devops . Read more about the same here . For the second ask, i am not sure if I understand the ask here as "ipynb" are the extension for Jupiter notebook. If the ask is to pull all the notebooks from a branch , the first suggestion should help . Thanks

Hi HimanshuSinha-msft, Thanks for your answers. Let me give more details on what I am trying to do. The Notebooks in our pipeline are stored as JSON files in Azure DevOps. As you know, comparing and visually seeing the difference between two Notebook versions isn't easy. My plan is

1. Download the copy of the Notebook from the main & a copy from my development branch as ipynb (JupyterLab Notebook is not processing JSON Notebook correctly, its shows as a tree structure)
2. Compare them using nbdiff-web to visualise the difference. I have managed to download the JSON file from the respective branch, but so far unable to convert it to the correct IPYNB format to open in JupyterLab. Thanks
