DataLad

DataLad is a Python-based command line tool that makes data management and data distribution more accessible. Built on the shoulders of Git and git-annex, DataLad delivers a decentralized system for data exchange and version control, providing structure as Git(-annex) repositories - or datasets. DataLad datasets are structured just like computer directories, where files are collected into folders that can be nested into modular units. At its core, DataLad is a general, multi-purpose tool, but several extensions are available to provide additional domain-specific functionality.
