DVC
TreeverseDVC (Data Version Control) versions datasets and models by keeping their contents in external storage and their version metadata in Git, so a repository records which data produced which result. It also defines pipelines as a dependency graph and tracks experiment runs and metrics against them. A command-line tool and a VS Code extension are the two interfaces.
