dvc-commit: Recursively commit all DVC-tracked files in a directory.

$ dvc commit --recursive ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command dvc commit --recursive ${path-to-directory} is used in DVC (Data Version Control) to commit changes made to a directory or multiple directories in a project.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

dvc commit: This is the main DVC command used to commit changes and track them in the DVC system.
--recursive: This flag tells DVC to commit changes recursively, meaning it will commit changes in all subdirectories and files within the specified directory.
${path-to-directory}: This is the placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to commit. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path, such as /path/to/my/directory.

By running this command, DVC will update the project's tracking information for the specified directory and its contents. It will take into account any changes, additions, or deletions made in the directory and update the necessary metadata and cache files to reflect those changes.

It's worth mentioning that DVC itself does not manage the actual files in the directory. Instead, it tracks the changes made to those files and creates a snapshot of the data. The actual files are stored in a separate file system or version control system, depending on how you have set up your DVC repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
