GitHub renders Markdown, so NotebookLM notes, reports and tables exported to Markdown with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter can be committed to a repository as documentation. The export is free and has no daily quota.

## Quick facts

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. In NotebookLM, export the content in a format GitHub accepts (see the table below).
3. Add the exported .md file to your repository, for example in a docs folder.
4. Commit and push; GitHub renders headings, tables and links.
5. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## Good to know

A Pro local folder sync into a Git working copy gives you a versioned history of a notebook: commit after each sync.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to GitHub, and nothing is sent to GitHub until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in GitHub integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to GitHub. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format GitHub reads (Markdown, Markdown outline), then import or open it there.

### Do equations render on GitHub?

GitHub renders LaTeX math written with dollar-sign delimiters in Markdown. Check exported equations after pushing.

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to GitHub?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
