Default template for iPython notebook (using Jupyter)

Question

In the first cell of every iPython (Jupyter) notebook, I almost always type:

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Is there a way to make it so that this cell appears at the top of each new notebook I create by default?

For example, could I save a template .ipynb file somewhere, which is copied by iPython when creating a new notebook?

(I found this question, but it seems to be more about css than default content in cells.)

There is a pretty cool solution using jupyterlab: jupyterlab_templates

Installation took about 5 minutes and you can have as many

templates as you'd like.

Assuming you have conda installed than during the installation, you'll need to install node js engine:

• conda install -c conda-forge nodejs

And create a jupter_noteook_config.py if you don't have one :

• jupyter notebook --generate-config
