datashuttle 0.1.0rc1

Organise and transfer scientific projects in BIDS format

DataShuttle

Datashuttle is a work in progress as has not been officially released. It is not ready for use as documented, please await first official release.

Datashuttle includes tools for automated generation and transfer of neuroscience project folders formatted to the SWC-BIDS specification.

• Manage files across multiple data-collection computers by synchronising all data to with a centrally stored project.

• Simplify data transfers by selecting only a sub-set of data to move (e.g. specific subjects, sessions or data types)

See the [Documentation Page] for more information, including how to [Get Started]

Datashuttle required Rclone for data transfers. The easiest way to install Rclone is using Miniconda:
