The command dvc diff --show-hash ${commit} is used to display the differences between two versions or commits in a DVC (Data Version Control) project and also shows the hash value associated with the specified commit.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • dvc: This is the command-line tool used for managing DVC projects.
  • diff: This is the subcommand that instructs DVC to perform a diff operation.
  • --show-hash: This option tells DVC to display the hash value associated with each commit.
  • ${commit}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual commit or version to compare. It could be a commit hash, a branch name, a tag, or any valid reference to a specific commit. For example, if you want to compare the current version with a commit identified by its hash value 'abcd1234', you would replace ${commit} with abcd1234.

When the command is executed, DVC will compare the specified commit or version with the current version of the project, showing the differences between them and also displaying the hash value associated with the specified commit, if available.
