External deps/outs - are advanced features, so we haven't been paying enough attention for now
Managing external data was initially named "External outputs" and it was even more confusing - since it was hard to find a basic scenario (I have data on S3 - how do I add it as-is and manage it in place? why is it an output in that case??) So as temp solution we renamed it to be this title and it should be addressed as part of the guide: consolidate external data mgmt guides #520 eventually.
This section might include other scenarios eventually - straight to remote, ext outs and ext deps together, external cache probably, etc.
I hope that help a bit :) Let me know if there are more questions now, good to discuss and hear more opinions about this.
https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/managing-external-data#examples is a bit confusing to me since the
external-data
in the examples doesn't seem to be used.Maybe after
dvc add --external
there should be something likedvc run -d remote://external-data ...
?Also instead of labelling
it should be more like
a) Tracking
b) Create,
unless I've misunderstood something?
