Link from One GitHub Jupyter Notebook to Another in the Same Repo

Question

Is there any way that I can locally link from one Jupyter notebook to another on GitHub without the need to embed the absolute path, such as https://github.com/jeffheaton/test-linking/blob/main/notebook1.ipynb?

I create a notebook (notebook1.ipynb)

With this content:

# This is Notebook 1

* [Link to Notebook 2a](notebook2.ipynb)
* [Link to Notebook 2b](./notebook2.ipynb))

I tried two different methods, one using the . for current directory. Neither worked.

notebook2.ipynb is actually at this URL:

https://github.com/jeffheaton/test-linking/blob/main/notebook2.ipynb

However, GitHub transforms my link into:

https://notebooks.githubusercontent.com/view/notebook2.ipynb

Which results in a bad link.

If I put this same markdown into README.md it works fine. Just does not seem to like jupyter notebooks.

I would really like to NOT have to prefix everything with https://github.com/jeffheaton/test-linking/blob/main/, because the local links:

• Work locally, outside of GitHub
• On GitHub are branch agnostic

You can see my attempts to make this work at this short repo: https://github.com/jeffheaton/test-linking

Answer 1

In case anyone happens upon this question. GitHub resolved this issue, relative links now appear to work just fine.
