Learning about version control primitives
As we saw in a previous section, Pachyderm bears similarities to the code version control software called Git. If you have participated in developing an open source project before, you are likely familiar with Git through the use of a hosted Git version, such as GitHub, GitLab, or Gerrit.
Like with Git, you store your data in repositories, upload your data with a commit, and can have multiple branches in your repositories. Pachyderm stores the history of your commits and allows you to track changes or the history of your data back to its origins.
Pachyderm version control primitives enable you to go back in time and run your pipeline against previous versions of your changes. This can be very powerful in tracking bias and mistakes that crawl into your pipeline changes.
Let's look at these concepts in more detail.
Repository
A Pachyderm repository is a filesystem in which you store your data and where you store versions...
