Git

Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Use it when

• •Managing ML model code, training scripts, and configuration files.
• •Collaborating on ML projects with multiple team members.
• •Implementing CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows.
• •Tracking changes in feature engineering code and model architectures.
• •Creating reproducible ML experiments with proper branching strategies.
• •Integrating with MLOps platforms that require version control.

Watch out

• ⚠Not suitable for large datasets: Git struggles with large binary files and datasets.
• ⚠Repository bloat: Including model artifacts and data can make repos unwieldy.
• ⚠Branching complexity: ML experiments can create complex branching patterns.
• ⚠Merge conflicts: Model configuration files can be difficult to merge.
• ⚠Limited ML-specific features: Doesn't provide experiment tracking or model metrics.
