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.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
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.
