Default renderer in Altair 4 does not render plots in a Jupyter notebook on GitHub.com
See original GitHub issuePre-v4, Altair plots inside a Jupyter notebook rendered very nicely on Github.com - this allowed our TAs to mark the HTML rendering of Jupyter notebooks on GH.
However since upgrading to Altair 4, this handy feature is now broken - likely because the renderer changed.
Here’s an example in my repo.
I have found a workaround by switching to the png renderer, but of course this has the consequence of disabling the nice interactive features in Altair.
Could you suggest which renderer we should switch to so that we can still have interactive features in our notebook, and have it render as an image on GH ?

Great! Note one other difference: with the default renderer, charts on nbviewer will be interactive. With the mimetype renderer, they will be static (because nbviewer doesn’t have the frontend extension necessary to render vega-lite mimetypes).
You can open the notebook in nbviewer if you want to be able to view Altair charts in a notebook from GitHub. I use the Open in nbviewer browser extension.
