dvc-diff: Compare DVC tracked files from different Git commits, tags, and branches w.r.t the current workspace.
$ dvc diff ${commit_hash-tag-branch}
try on your machine

The command "dvc diff ${commit_hash-tag-branch}" is used to compare the changes in a Data Version Control (DVC) project between the current state and a specific commit, tag, or branch.

Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • "dvc": It is the command-line tool for DVC, which is a version control system specifically designed for machine learning projects.

  • "diff": It is a command within DVC that compares the differences between different versions of tracked files in the project.

  • "${commit_hash-tag-branch}": This is a placeholder representing the specific commit hash, tag, or branch name that you want to compare. You need to replace it with the actual commit hash, tag, or branch name in your project.

By executing this command, DVC will show you the differences in tracked files between the current state of the project and the specified commit, tag, or branch. It will display additions, deletions, and modifications made to the files, allowing you to understand the changes made to the project.

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.
