Why a DVC extension for VS Code?
DVC has helped individual ML developers and teams in companies like UBS, DeGould, Exscientia, Kibsi and many more to standardize their ML workflows on top of their cloud resources and Git repositories.
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is, by far, the most popular IDE for all developers, including ML engineers.
The DVC extension makes VS Code even more useful for you by providing you a VS Code-native environment for managing your ML projects. You get the power of DVC with capabilities beyond what's available in the terminal!
With over 34 thousand installs, the extension is proven to help you solve the challenges of creating and managing your Machine Learning workflows.
Getting started with the DVC extension for VS Code
