Setup a DVC Remote

In this editor exercise, you'll practice the process of configuring and modifying DVC remotes for securely storing and distributing your datasets. DVC remotes allow you to store and share data with appropriate versions. We've already initialized DVC for this exercise. Your focus will be solely on setting up DVC remotes within a local filesystem environment.

The syntax for adding a default DVC remote is

dvc remote add --local <remote_name> </path/to/folder>

where --local indicates that the DVC remote is pointed locally.

While modifying a DVC remote's location, we can use the following command

dvc remote modify --local <remote_name> url </path/to/new-location>

notice how we modify the url key in the config that stores the location.
