How can I edit Jupyter/IPython notebooks as text files?

I would like to use Jupyter/IPython notebooks for writing reports, but I would prefer to avoid the browser interface. Instead, I would like to be able to write the notebook in some text-based format, e.g. markdown, and export the notebook afterwards. Essentially I would like to use Jupyter in a Knitr-esque workflow. Is this currently possible?

Thanks in advance.

Jupytext does exactly this. It lets you edit scripts or markdown and auto-sync to Jupyter Notebooks and other formats.

You can write reports in Markdown and then convert them into Jupyter notebooks with notedown:

That's the closest option to knitr. It also supports r-markdown (.Rmd) conversion.

You mentioned knitr, so at least some of your code is probably R. If so, take a look at the RStudio notebooks preview at http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/r_notebooks.html. It stores the notebook in plain text as an Rmd file, but expands it to HTML for display. You can also recover the plain text from the HTML. I don't know how good the Python support would be, though.

To get a Knitr-esque flow you might look into the Atom plugin, hydrogen. From what I understand it allows you to execute code inline using your installed Jupyter kernels. Of course, this would only work in Atom.

Jupyter Notebooks are stored as json. If you are comfortable reading the raw JSON, simply open the notebook file in your favorite text editor.
