Hi @Veerendra , if that is the first time you are running the Pipeline, the error is expected as there are no files in the remote yet.

There is a feature request for adding a flag to ignore those error in [dvc checkout --ignore-missing; build workspace even if some data is missing in local cache · Issue #4746 · iterative/dvc · GitHub](https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/4746) .

As a workaround, you can update your workflow to ignore the error and still run the pipeline:

```yaml
    - name: Dvc pull updated files
      continue-on-error: true
      run: | 
         dvc pull -v 
    - name: Run pipeline
      run: |
         dvc repro -f 

```

Or instead, run `dvc pull -v ||`
