Description

If Zeppelin is used to export a notebook to the 'ipynb' format, then this file will not display correctly once loaded into a GitHub repository (see attached image).

Investigating this, it seems the initial metadata section at the very top of the exported ipynb file omits a 'display_name' value. If this is added manually then GitHub will display the file correctly.

To fix this, my suggestion is that a default value is added to the ipynb file when exported as below:

  "metadata": {
    "name": "HelloWorld",
    "kernelspec": {
      "display_name": "Zeppelin",
      "language": "scala",
      "name": "spark2-scala"
    },
