dvc-add: Add a target file with a custom `.dvc` filename.
$ dvc add --file ${custom_name-dvc} ${filename}
try on your machine

The dvc add --file ${custom_name-dvc} ${filename} command is used in DVC (Data Version Control) to add a file to the DVC repository with a custom name.

Let's break down the command:

  • dvc add: This is the dvc command used to add files to the DVC repository.
  • --file ${custom_name-dvc}: It specifies the filename that the file should have within the DVC repository. The ${custom_name-dvc} is a placeholder for the custom name, which can be replaced with any desired name. For example, if the custom name is set to "datafile", then the file will be added to DVC with the name "datafile".
  • ${filename}: This is another placeholder that will be replaced with the actual path or name of the file you want to add to the DVC repository. Replace ${filename} with the actual path or name of the file.

In summary, this command adds a file to the DVC repository with a custom name specified by ${custom_name-dvc}, and the file to be added is specified by ${filename}.
