dvc-dag: Export the pipeline in the dot format.
$ dvc dag --dot > ${path-to-pipeline-dot}
try on your machine
The command "dvc dag --dot > ${path-to-pipeline-dot}" is used to generate a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) representation of a DVC (Data Version Control) pipeline and save it to a DOT file.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "dvc dag": Executes the DVC command to generate the DAG.
- "--dot": Specifies that the output format should be in the DOT language, which is a graph description language.
- "> ${path-to-pipeline-dot}": Redirects the output of the command to a specified file, denoted by "${path-to-pipeline-dot}". The ">" operator redirects the output to a file instead of printing it to the console.
So the overall command generates the DAG representation of the DVC pipeline and saves it to a DOT file at the specified path. This DOT file can then be visualized using tools such as Graphviz to understand and analyze the structure and dependencies of the pipeline.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
