How can I use jupyter to edit a file on jupyter server, such as "~/.bashrc”

Question

I want to edit a file on Jupyter server, add "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow/contrib/slim/python/slim" to "/.bashrc". but I can't switch to bash terminal window. If can I edit "/.bashrc" directly using Jupyter? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use %%writefile myfile to to save the content of the current cell into a file. Use %less myfile to show the file content:

In [1]: %%writefile myfile
        My file content

In [2]: %less myfile

You can load the file content with %load myfile into a cell first.
