The command "dvc fetch ${target-s}" is a Data Version Control (DVC) command used to fetch data files from a remote storage or cache into the local workspace.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dvc": This is the main command-line tool for DVC.
  • "fetch": This sub-command is used to download data files from the specified remote storage or cache.
  • "${target-s}": This is a placeholder for the target data files that you want to fetch. You need to replace ${target-s} with the actual name or path of the data files you want to download. The "-s" flag indicates that "target" is a string and allows you to specify multiple targets.

When you run this command, DVC will look for the specified data files in the remote storage or cache, and if any of the files are missing in the local workspace, they will be downloaded and added to the workspace. This command helps ensure that your local dataset is up to date with the remote storage or cache.
