datalad-revolution 0.9.0

Revolutionary DataLad extension package

Travis tests status Build status codecov.io GitHub release PyPI version fury.io Documentation

This software is a DataLad extension that equips DataLad with alternative and additional core commands that are leaner and written specifically with enhanced cross-platform compatibility and speed in mind. Please see the extension documentation for a description on additional commands and functionality.

Note: There is no support for git-annex direct mode repositories. Users that previously relied on this mode, and Windows users in particular, are recommended to use git-annex V7 mode. DataLad can be instructed to always use this mode by running:

git config --global --add datalad.repo.version 6

Command(s) currently provided by this extension

• rev-diff – sibling of rev-status for any state comparison, now also on Windows

Installation

Before you install this package, please make sure that you install a recent version of git-annex. Afterwards, install the latest version of datalad-revolution from PyPi. It is recommended to use a dedicated virtualenv:

# create and enter a new virtual environment (optional)
virtualenv --system-site-packages --python=python3 ~/env/datalad
. ~/env/datalad/bin/activate

# install from PyPi
pip install datalad_revolution
