I have a large directory tracked by dvc with a single .dvc file. Often, I’ll will want to just pull a single file within that directory, make some modifications, and then push those changes back up to the remote repo. However, if I just do dvc add my_directory/, then it will think I want to delete all the other files. Do I have to pull down the entire directory in order to modify a single file?
Hi @gregamis .
Do I have to pull down the entire directory in order to modify a single file?
As of today, yes, unfortunately.
There is an open discussion about this use case https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/4657, don’t hesitate on commenting there your use case, for better visibility of the request.
