Git is for Data
Summary: Argues Git's UX/ecosystem is ideal for ML dataset management but vanilla Git fails at scale; introduces XetHub, an extension that preserves Git semantics while enabling TB+ repositories. Demonstrates scalable, low‑friction reproducibility and integration with DevOps pipelines. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
