Data Workspaces is an open source framework for maintaining the state of a data science project, including data sets, intermediate data, results, and code. It supports reproducability through snapshotting and lineage models and collaboration through a push/pull model inspired by source control systems like Git.

Data Workspaces is installed as a Python 3 package and provides a Git-like command line interface and programming APIs. Specific data science tools and workflows are supported through extensions called kits. Currently, this includes Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Jupyter Notebooks. The goal is to provide the reproducibility and collaboration benefits with minimal changes to your current projects and processes.

Data Workspaces runs on Unix-like systems, including Linux, MacOS, and on Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
