Workspace Objects

class Workspace()
The Workspace class allows you to interact with an Oxen workspace without downloading the data locally. Workspaces can be created off a branch and is tied to the commit id of the branch at the time of creation. You can commit a Workspace back to the same branch if the branch has not advanced, otherwise you will have to commit to a new branch and merge.

​
Examples

Adding Files to a Workspace

repo = RemoteRepo("ox/CatDogBBox")

# Create the workspace
workspace = Workspace(repo, "my-branch")

# Add a file to the workspace
workspace.add("my-image.png")

# Print the status of the workspace
status = workspace.status()
print(status.added_files())

# Commit the workspace
workspace.commit("Adding my image to the workspace.")
