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:

$ uv add 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.
