dvc-checkout: Checkout a specific version of a target from a different Git commit/tag/branch.

$ git checkout ${select} ${target} && dvc checkout ${target}

try on your machine

This command is a combination of two separate commands, executed sequentially using the && operator.

The first command is git checkout ${select} ${target}. Here, the git checkout command is used to switch to a different branch or commit in a Git repository. ${select} and ${target} are variables that would be replaced with specific branch or commit names. This command is used to navigate or switch to a specific branch or commit in the Git repository.
The second command is dvc checkout ${target}. This command is using DVC (Data Version Control), a tool that works alongside Git to version control and manage large files and datasets. The dvc checkout command is instructing DVC to retrieve or restore the specified target. ${target} is a variable that would typically represent a specific file or dataset being managed by DVC.

By using && between the two commands, it ensures that the second command (dvc checkout) will only be executed if the first command (git checkout) succeeds. It serves as a logical "and" operator, allowing the second command to be executed conditionally based on the success of the first command.
