# DVC

DVC is an open-source version control system for data science and machine learning projects. It applies a Git-like model to data, models and experiments, and stores version metadata in the Git repository while the data itself sits in cloud storage such as S3, Azure or Google Cloud. Since November 2025 the project has been stewarded by lakeFS, and it remains open source with its own community and website.
