Version Control for Data Science Explained in 5 Minutes (No Code!)

In this code-free, five-minute explainer for complete beginners, we'll teach you about Data Version Control (DVC), a tool for adapting Git version control to machine learning projects.

- Why data science and machine learning badly need tools for versioning
- Why Git version control alone will fall short
- How DVC helps you use Git with big datasets and models
- Cool features in DVC, like metrics, pipelines, and plots

Check out the DVC open source project on GitHub:

I was avoiding looking into DVC because it seemed like I would have to put aside a few hours to get acquainted with it, but then I saw '5 minutes' in the title for this video and now I am integrating it into my ML pipeline.

Thanks for a nice introduction to DVC.

Not sure why somebody even dislike this, but surely this is the BEST way to know about a product in 5 minutes!!

I am sold when you mentioned that you can version control large files with DVC.

[ricardovaldez]

Good explanation, useful for newcomers in data version control. Thanks

[sanketmaheshwari]

Mindblowing. I am completely sold the way you explained the purpose of DVC. I just heard the name from my colleague but not actually understood what it is. I am surely going to explore this further. thanks a lot for sharing.

[DataMagicAI]

It was really nice explanation, I loved it. I could see DVC is really life saver for Data Science practitioners. Thanks for sharing!

OMG this is excellent, and a great explainer!

You almost lost me when I saw that book, but thanks you clarified right away 😂😂😂

[raydudelidoo]

Super cool, nice explanation! :) Thanks, Elle & DeeVee :)

[enriquemillanvalbuena]

Great explanation without code! :D

Thx!

[christophjud]

After seeing you video I think I should give DVC a try :-)

[ryanmckenna]

Great job explaining, you made it really easy :)

[ankurrana]

Great introduction ...understood for ever in 5 mins ....simplicity is superb

[cosmicallyderived]

Nice explanation, I dig the use of the props.

[MichaelRicksAherne]

So like Git LFS, but with more features and less suckage. Awesome.

[pablo.osinaga]

Nice video! I can definitely use it to pitch the project to my boss :)

[fahimirfanalam]

Excellent presentation. So helpful. Thanks.

[adityaramaraju]

Sounds pretty cool! How would dvc compare against git-LFS?

[JevKuznetsov]

Great job on describing something pretty abstract in a clear and simple way! You clearly describe the problem, your solution and the added value of it. Very refreshing compared to TL;DR manuals. ;-)

Excellent explanation thanks so much!!
