How to display a .ipynb file on github?

I have a following problem. I have uploaded a .ipynb file to my github repository. However, github cannot display my code and writes "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?". What might be a problem here, please?

I tried many ways to overcome this problem and I think I found it. You can render your notebooks by yourself automatically using [Github Actions & nbconvert] then view outputs with public HTML urls.

See my repository here: https://github.com/salihmarangoz/github_ci_nbconvert

This would be the simplest way until Github fixes rendering errors for notebooks.

I have been grappling with this issue for months.
I am convinced that this is purely a GitHub.com issue.

What I am seeing is that notebooks sometimes render fine, and sometimes do not.

Whenever the notebooks fail with "Sorry, something went wrong. Reload?", the same notebook will be fine some time later, where "some time later" can be anywhere from several minutes to several hours (up to maybe a day). However that doesn't mean that it won't start failing again several hours after that.

I am convinced GitHub.com is hosting a service on their machines that is used to render notebooks, and that sometimes this service either gets into a bad state, or crashes; when that happens notebooks won't render until the service is bounced (or somehow has its "good" state restored).

Unfortunately the only way I could find to report bugs to GitHub.com is to email [email protected] or fill out the form at https://support.github.com/contact . Furthermore, in my experience GitHub.com is not very responsive to bug reports, and it appears they do not have a public issue tracker either.

Perhaps if enough of us email [email protected] with this complaint, then they will make it a priority and fix the issue.

The fact that these notebooks on GitHub.com will render just fine if you place the github.com url of the notebook into https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/ is futher evidence that the issue is with GitHub.com

The same issue happens to me sometimes, I think it is related to GitHub's backend, size of the file and network connection. However you can use https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/ and paste the link in it. this site is independent from GitHub but it will solve your problem.

If your file name is correct "name.ipynb", with no typos or special symbols, then it is not a problem you can fix. It's an issue on GitHub's end. Unfortunately there is no solution for this. You can report a bug to GitHub, try later, or alternatively open your notebook in Jupyter

jupyter notebook

command in cmd.
