dvc: Display help about a specific subcommand.
$ dvc ${subcommand} --help
try on your machine

The command "dvc ${subcommand} --help" is a command-line instruction that uses a tool called DVC (Data Version Control) to provide help and instructions for a specific subcommand.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dvc" refers to the DVC tool, which is a version control system designed specifically for managing large files and data sets.
  • "${subcommand}" is a placeholder representing a specific subcommand within the DVC tool. A subcommand is a specific action or operation that can be performed using the DVC tool. Examples of subcommands include "add," "commit," "pull," etc. You would replace "${subcommand}" with the actual subcommand you want help with.
  • "--help" is an option or flag that can be used with many command-line tools. In this case, it tells DVC to display detailed information, instructions, and usage examples for the specified subcommand.

By running this command, DVC will provide you with help and documentation specific to the subcommand you indicate, assisting you with any questions or uncertainties you have about that particular command.
