Store them in your cloud storage but keep their version info in your Git repo. #. **Iterate** fast with lightweight pipelines. When you make changes, only run the steps impacted by those changes. #. **Track** experiments in your local Git repo (no servers needed). #. **Compare** any data, code, parameters, model, or performance plots. #. **Share** experiments and automatically reproduce anyone's experiment. Quick start =========== Please read our `Command Reference `_ for a complete list.
