Not OP but I can imagine easily the need for what he's asking.

You'll find a lot of algorithms for data and image processing saved as notebooks these days offered to you. Let's say you make some changes from the provided code and after a handful of changes something is not working right. You might want to diff from where you are back to a working version in hopes that differences that emerge might clue you into where to look for where the problem might be.

As an aside, I want to say Jupyter notebooks (moreso jupyterlab) is sort of a disruptive change to our coding workflows. We've had interpreters for a long time sure, but creating interactive graphs on-the-fly is a godsend, insights come to you in such a workflow that wouldn't otherwise. I hope this catches on, I actually want my shell terminal to become more Jupyter-like. Also, fun fact: did you know you could do real-time collaboration on Juypter notebooks? https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/rtc.html
