Manage Jupyter kernel specs for qBraid environments. Each environment can have its own kernel visible in JupyterLab’s launcher. Use this when you want to: • Make an environment available as a Jupyter kernel • Fix a broken kernel that points to a missing environment • Clean up orphaned kernels from deleted environments Usage:
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.
Commands:
  • list: List all available kernels.
  • add: Add a kernel to Jupyter.
  • remove: Remove a kernel from Jupyter.
  • status: Check kernel status for an environment.
  • repair: Repair a kernel’s Python path.
  • clean: Remove orphaned kernels.

​
qbraid kernels list

List all available kernels. Usage:
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.

​
qbraid kernels add

Add a kernel to Jupyter. Usage:
Arguments:
  • ENVIRONMENT: Name of environment for which to add ipykernel. Values from ‘qbraid envs list’. [required]
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.

​
qbraid kernels remove

Remove a kernel from Jupyter. Usage:
Arguments:
  • ENVIRONMENT: Name of environment for which to remove ipykernel. Values from ‘qbraid envs list’. [required]
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.

​
qbraid kernels status

Check kernel status for an environment. Usage:
Arguments:
  • ENVIRONMENT: Environment name or env_id to check kernel status. [required]
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.

​
qbraid kernels repair

Repair a kernel’s Python path. Fixes kernel.json with the correct Python path. Usage:
Arguments:
  • ENVIRONMENT: Environment name or env_id to repair kernel. [required]
Options:
  • --help: Show this message and exit.

​
qbraid kernels clean

Remove orphaned kernels. Removes kernels whose Python environment no longer exists. Without arguments, scans all kernels and prompts to remove broken ones. With a kernel name, removes it directly without checking validity. Usage:

Options:
  • -y, --yes: Skip confirmation prompt
