FastDS#

FastDS is an open source tool that combines Git and DVC to allow easy versioning of code and data.

Installation#

FastDS can be easily installed with:

$ pipenv install fastds

Introduction#

Even the creation of the initial repository is greatly simplified:

$ git init
$ dvc init
$ git add .
$ dvc add data/data.xml
$ git add data/.gitignore data/data.xml.dvc
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ dvc push -r origin
$ git push origin

becomes:

$ fds init
$ fds add .
$ fds save -m "Initial commit"

FastDS abbreviates Git and DVC commands to minimise input errors and automate repetitive tasks:

init: initialises both the Git and DVC repositories.
status: returns the status of both repositories.
add: adds files to the Git or DVC repository.
commit: commits changes to the Git or DVC repository.
clone: clones the Git repository and fetches data from the remote DVC repository.
push: pushes data to the remote Git and DVC repositories.
save: adds changes to the project and commits them to the remote Git and DVC repositories.
