Getting data out of versioned data repositories

Now that we have versioned data in Pachyderm, we probably want to know how to interact with that data. The primary way is via Pachyderm data pipelines (which will be discussed later in this book). The mechanism for interacting with versioned data when using pipelines is a simple file I/O.

However, if we manually want to pull certain sets of versioned data out of Pachyderm, analyze them interactively, then we can use the pachctl CLI to get data:

$ pachctl get-file myrepo master blah.txt
This is an example file.
