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.
