## What it is
A command-line tool that strips output and some metadata from Jupyter, IPython, and Zeppelin notebooks. It is designed to be used as a Git filter or pre-commit hook so notebook outputs are not committed to version control.

## Use cases
- strip output from jupyter notebooks before committing to git
- set up a git filter to keep notebook outputs out of version control
- reduce diff noise and file size for committed ipynb files
- clean notebook outputs as a pre-commit hook
- clear all output from notebooks from the command line
- strip outputs from zeppelin notebooks

## When to choose
- you commit Jupyter notebooks to Git but don't want to track outputs or execution metadata
- you want to minimize diffs and repository size caused by notebook outputs
- you need an automated Git filter or pre-commit hook for notebook cleaning

## When to avoid
- you want to keep notebook outputs in version control for reproducibility or sharing results
- you need to execute or convert notebooks rather than clean them
- you're still on Python 2.7 and can't use the current versions
