Overview

Data Version Control, or DVC, is a data and ML experiment management tool that takes advantage of the existing engineering toolset that you're already familiar with (Git, CI/CD, etc.). See the official documentation for a full overview of DVC's functionality.

The purpose of this package is to aid in using DVC from within R. For example, you may want to run DVC commands from an RMarkdown file as part of an analysis. The primary focus of the package currently implements the data tracking functionality of DVC.
