Session Goal

The session aimed to explore the use of Jupyter magic commands for controlling cell execution and to automate Git repository management using Python.

Key Activities

• Investigated the use of Jupyter magic commands in VS Code to manage cell execution during script conversion with nbconvert. This included understanding the use of script true, and # %run commands.
• Explored methods to prevent execution of specific cells in interactive Jupyter notebooks while allowing inclusion in nbconvert scripts. Techniques included using the raise statement and checking the interactive environment with IPython.get_ipython().
• Developed Python scripts for directory management and Git repository cloning using the os and gitpython modules.
• Ensured the gitpython module is installed and used Spanish comments for clarity in the Git management script.

Achievements

• Successfully understood and documented the use of Jupyter magic commands for execution control.
• Created robust Python scripts for checking and creating directories, and automating Git repository cloning.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the Jupyter magic commands in different environments to ensure compatibility.
• Review and refine the Spanish comments in the Python script for better clarity.
