Wow, thank you to the authors!
It looks like this tool, nbdev2, solves a real-world problem for Jupyter users, including me, with zero effort required to use it every day. It relies on clever hooks to get git to treat cells as first-class citizens (as opposed to lines of text, the default). Nice! Based on that alone, I would expect nbdev2 to be widely adopted over time. In fact, if it works as well as advertised, it should be incorporated into Jupyter. I, for one, will be giving it a try!
If you use Jupyter to solve problems in your domain of expertise, feel free to ignore all the smart-sounding software engineers who will poo-pooh this tool only because they don't like notebooks and don't want anyone to use them. No matter what you do, there will always be people who look down on easy-to-use tools that enable scientists and practitioners from other disciplines to write, run, and explore ad-hoc code on-the-fly.
EDIT: nbdev2's authors are on this page, answering questions. Thank you again!
