    Hi ech0 

    Thanks for your question.

    Are all your notebooks of the same type (I.e. Spark, Python or T-SQL Analytics)? You error seems to stem from some weird metadata or hidden formatting in the notebooks which cannot be parsed into a .py file compatible with GIT. Try and compare some of the 200 failing notebooks with succeeding notebooks, perhaps you will find some pattern - could be either large encoded images, special charecters or perhaps the notebooks stem from another platform (synapse, databricks etc.) which might save some metadata to them which is not supported in Fabric.
