vmTools: Version Management Tools on the File System

Data version management on the file system for smaller projects. Manage data pipeline outputs with symbolic folder links, structured logging and reports, using 'R6' classes for encapsulation and 'data.table' for speed. Directory-specific logs used as source of truth to allow portability of versioned data folders.
