Commit

This command allows to fix the current state of a project and create a new revision from the working tree.

By default, this command checks sources in the working tree for changes. If there are unknown changes found, an error will be raised, unless --allow-foreign is used. If such changes are committed, the source will only be available for reproduction from the project cache, because Datumaro will not know how to repeat them.

The command will add the sources into the project cache. If you only need to record revision metadata, you can use the --no-cache parameter. This can be useful if you want to save disk space and/or have a backup copy of datasets used in the project.

If there are no changes found, the command will stop. To allow empty commits, use --allow-empty.

Usage:

datum commit [-h] -m MESSAGE [--allow-empty] [--allow-foreign]
  [--no-cache] [-p PROJECT_DIR]

Parameters:

• --allow-empty - Allow commits with no changes
• --allow-foreign - Allow commits with changes made not by Datumaro
• --no-cache - Don’t put committed datasets into cache, save only metadata
• -p, --project (string) - Directory of the project to operate on (default: current directory).
• -h, --help - Print the help message and exit.

Example:

datum create
datum import -f coco <path/to/coco/>
datum commit -m "Added COCO"
