dvc-fetch: Fetch changes from a specific remote upstream repository.
$ dvc fetch --remote ${remote_name}
try on your machine

The command "dvc fetch --remote ${remote_name}" is used to retrieve the latest changes from a remote storage location specified by ${remote_name} in the DVC (Data Version Control) system.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "dvc fetch" is the DVC command used to retrieve the latest changes from a remote storage.
  • "--remote ${remote_name}" specifies the remote storage location to fetch the changes from. ${remote_name} should be replaced with the actual name of the remote storage, such as "origin" or "s3". The remote storage is previously configured in DVC using the "dvc remote" command.

When this command is executed, DVC will connect to the specified remote storage and fetch any new or modified data files or directories. These changes will be downloaded and stored locally, allowing you to work with the latest version of the data.

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.
