Unable to resolve “Error: Git server extension is unavailable.” for Pytorch jupyter notebook

After creating a new notebook instance(VM type: Pytorch 1.4), there is an internal error relating to the Git server extension when opened:

Internal Error:

Fail to get the server root path. Error: Git server extension is unavailable. Please ensure you have installed the JupyterLab Git server extension by running: pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git. To confirm that the server extension is installed, run: jupyter serverextension list.

This means I can't use the Git clone button which returns:

Clone failed:

JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

When i tried the command, jupyter serverextension list, i found that git extension is disabled.

 jupyterlab_git disabled
    - Validating...
      jupyterlab_git 0.10.1 OK

I tried both 'jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyterlab_git --sys-prefix' and 'pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git' as suggested but that didn't seem to fix anything. Below is my notebook instance setup (if not specified it is the default):

Region: us-west1 (Oregon)

Zone: us-west1-a

Environment: PyTorch 1.4 (with Intel® MKL-DNN/MKL and CUDA 10.1)

Machine type: n1-standard-4 (4vCPUs, 15 GB RAM)

GPU type: NVIDIA Tesla T4

Number of GPUs: 1

✓ Install NVIDA GPU driver automatically for me

Has this been occurring for others? I saw a similar post for TensorFlow VM(Unable to resolve "Error: Git server extension is unavailable." (Google Notebooks)) and wondering if it is the same scenario?

Does the issue still relevant for you and the solution being posted worked as well? – Nick_Kh
There are plenty of Deep Learning VM Images introduced since the question was initially created. – Nick_Kh
