Versioning Data with DVC (Hands-On Tutorial!)

This tutorial is for total beginners to get started using DVC and Git to version data, models, and more. If you're completely new to DVC and want a gentle walkthrough of the basic features, this is for you!

We'll be mirroring the first "Getting Started" feature from the official DVC docs, in which we learn how to:

- Set up Git and DVC in a project
- Configure remote storage (here, Google Drive!) for your project
- Create a new version of a dataset
- Checkout a previous version of a dataset

This is the first of 4 videos in the DVC Basics series.

Update 8/21/24: Google has made policy adjustments which has made it impossible to authenticate GDrive with DVC. For information on the workaround see this issue: github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/10516
