In this case, we can version the file using Git and so we choose to ignore it in DVC. +The `--plots-no-cache` flag specifies a plot metrics file produced by this stage, which is not cached by DVC. If you want DVC to track the metrics and the plot metrics file produced, simply use `-m` and `--plots` respectively. + +> With cache: false, DVC skips caching the output as we want "scores.json" to be versioned by Git.
