Since then the &amp;quot;git for data&amp;quot; accounts only probably for 5% of the total functionality :)&lt;p&gt;I guess &amp;quot;Git for data&amp;quot; is not very useful if you don&amp;#x27;t have the whole platform built around it to actually use the features. We mainly use it for data synchronization between the nodes and provenance tracking so people can see what data was used to build specific models and to track how the project evolves itself without forcing people to &amp;quot;commit&amp;quot; their changes manually (as we have seen that often data scientists don&amp;#x27;t even use git, just files on their Jupyter notebooks).</text><parent_chain><item><author>peteforde</author><text>Only 39 days since the last &amp;quot;GitHub for data&amp;quot; was announced: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=22375774&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=22375774&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ll say what I said in February: I started a company with the same premise 9 years ago, during the prime &amp;quot;big data&amp;quot; hype cycle.
