Package and distribute data

Say that you wish to send all your data folder to a colleague for inspection. You can tar -czvf exported_data.tar.gz ./data/ and send your whole data folder, but you might want to only pick the output and non-remotely available inputs, and leave re-downloading the (potentially bulky) remote data to your colleague.

If you run kerblam data pack you can do just that. Kerblam! will create a exported_data.tar.gz file and save it locally with the non-remotely-available .data/in files and the files in ./data/out. You can also pass the --cleanup flag to also delete them after packing.

You can then share the data pack with others.
