Once again, thanks for open sourcing the tool ! **Remarks on the tutorial** - The size of the data used in the tutorial is a bit large (i.e. featurization step requires more than 8GB of RAM and is a bit unwieldy on basic laptops). You might want to consider using a smaller one. - In the `Running in a bulk` section, and possibly some other, the output of the command shows `Reproducing`. However, when ran for the first time, dvc simply outputs `Running command`. For consistency, you may want to fix this. **Other questions and suggestions** - When there is nothing to reproduce and we run `dvc repro`, nothing happens. It would be nice to display a message stating that there is indeed nothing to be done - When a .dvc file already exists and dvc asks : `'data/XXX.dvc' already exists. Do you wish to run the command and overwrite it? (y/n)` and one replies `no`, it would be better to change the message to something like `Not overwriting: 'data/XXX.dvc'` rather than `Failed to run command: 'data/XXX.dvc' already exists` ---

Hi @tmain ! Thank you for the feedback! > - The size of the data used in the tutorial is a bit large (i.e. featurization step requires more than 8GB of RAM and is a bit unwieldy on basic laptops). You might want to consider using a smaller one. Agreed, we are currently working on simplifying the tutorial. > - In the `Running in a bulk` section, and possibly some other, the output of the command shows `Reproducing` . However, when ran for the first time, dvc simply outputs `Running command` . For consistency, you may want to fix this. This is actually done on purpose, since `reproduce` means that it has been run once and this is why we print ‘Running command’ the first time and ‘Reproducing’ after that. > When there is nothing to reproduce and we run `dvc repro` , nothing happens. It would be nice to display a message stating that there is indeed nothing to be done Great point! Created [repro: print msg when there is nothing to reproduve · Issue #1049 · iterative/dvc · GitHub](https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/1049) to track the progress on it. > - When a .dvc file already exists and dvc asks : `'data/XXX.dvc' already exists. Do you wish to run the command and overwrite it? (y/n)` and one replies `no` , it would be better to change the message to something like `Not overwriting: 'data/XXX.dvc'` > rather than `Failed to run command: 'data/XXX.dvc' already exists` Great point as well! Created [repro: change 'already exists' msg · Issue #1050 · iterative/dvc · GitHub](https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/1050) to track the progress on it. Thanks, Ruslan ---

> [@kupruser](#): > > This is actually done on purpose, since `reproduce` means that it has been run once and this is why we print ‘Running command’ the first time and ‘Reproducing’ after that. I agree ! I was merely remarking that when one runs the tutorial, presumably one runs the code for the first time and the output should show `Running command`. However the tutorial displays `Reproducing command` ---

Ah, sorry, didn’t notice it 🙂 Great catch! Thank you for the feedback! We are actually preparing an update for the tutorial and will be sure to change the messages there as we go.
