Default template for IPython notebook (using Jupyter)

In the first cell of every IPython (Jupyter) notebook, I almost always type:

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Is there a way to make it so that this cell appears at the top of each new notebook I create by default?

For example, could I save a template .ipynb file somewhere, which is copied by iPython when creating a new notebook?

(I found this question, but it seems to be more about css than default content in cells.)

Solution

  • There is a pretty cool solution using jupyterlab: jupyterlab_templates

    Installation took about 5 minutes and you can have as many

    templates as you'd like.

    Assuming you have conda installed than during the installation, you'll need to install node js engine:

    And create a jupter_noteook_config.py if you don't have one :
