Line amd Cell magic

In a code cell execute:

from IPython.core.magic import register_line_cell_magic

@register_line_cell_magic
def mysh(line, cell=None):
    command = line
    if cell:
        command += '\n' + cell
    get_ipython().system(f"zsh -i -c '. ~/.dotfiles/source.sh; {command}'")

Line magic

%dot country

"The Netherlands"

Cell magic

%%dotscript
country

"The Netherlands"

Extension

This is only available if the .dotfiles has also stowed ipython. This can be done as follows

%%script zsh
cd ~/.dotfiles
stow ipython

After this you can use the following in your notebook to load the extension:

$load_ext dotfiles

This enables the tools devenv, machine, app, action, notebook, etc which can be used as:

%devenv gofedora noinit

%app weather apeldoorn

If for some reason you get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotfiles', it might be that the extensions is not part of the sys.path. This can be fixed with:

import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.path.expanduser("~/.ipython/extensions"))
