 | ||
| > #### 🪐 Project templates
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > Our [`projects`](https://github.com/explosion/projects) repo includes various
 | ||
| > project templates for different NLP tasks, models, workflows and integrations
 | ||
| > that you can clone and run. The easiest way to get started is to pick a
 | ||
| > template, clone it and start modifying it!
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| spaCy projects let you manage and share **end-to-end spaCy workflows** for
 | ||
| different **use cases and domains**, and orchestrate training, packaging and
 | ||
| serving your custom pipelines. You can start off by cloning a pre-defined
 | ||
| project template, adjust it to fit your needs, load in your data, train a
 | ||
| pipeline, export it as a Python package, upload your outputs to a remote storage
 | ||
| and share your results with your team. spaCy projects can be used via the new
 | ||
| [`spacy project`](/api/cli#project) command and we provide templates in our
 | ||
| [`projects`](https://github.com/explosion/projects) repo.

| <Project id="pipelines/tagger_parser_ud">
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The easiest way to get started is to clone a project template and run it – for
 | ||
| example, this end-to-end template that lets you train a **part-of-speech
 | ||
| tagger** and **dependency parser** on a Universal Dependencies treebank.

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| spaCy projects make it easy to integrate with many other **awesome tools** in
 | ||
| the data science and machine learning ecosystem to track and manage your data
 | ||
| and experiments, iterate on demos and prototypes and ship your models into
 | ||
| production.

| ### 1. Clone a project template {id="clone"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Cloning under the hood
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > To clone a project, spaCy calls into `git` and uses the "sparse checkout"
 | ||
| > feature to only clone the relevant directory or directories.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The [`spacy project clone`](/api/cli#project-clone) command clones an existing
 | ||
| project template and copies the files to a local directory. You can then run the
 | ||
| project, e.g. to train a pipeline and edit the commands and scripts to build
 | ||
| fully custom workflows.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| python -m spacy project clone pipelines/tagger_parser_ud
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| By default, the project will be cloned into the current working directory. You
 | ||
| can specify an optional second argument to define the output directory. The
 | ||
| `--repo` option lets you define a custom repo to clone from if you don't want to
 | ||
| use the spaCy [`projects`](https://github.com/explosion/projects) repo. You can
 | ||
| also use any private repo you have access to with Git.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 2. Fetch the project assets {id="assets"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### project.yml
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > assets:
 | ||
| >   - dest: 'assets/training.spacy'
 | ||
| >     url: 'https://example.com/data.spacy'
 | ||
| >     checksum: '63373dd656daa1fd3043ce166a59474c'
 | ||
| >   - dest: 'assets/development.spacy'
 | ||
| >     git:
 | ||
| >       repo: 'https://github.com/example/repo'
 | ||
| >       branch: 'master'
 | ||
| >       path: 'path/development.spacy'
 | ||
| >     checksum: '5113dc04e03f079525edd8df3f4f39e3'
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Assets are data files your project needs – for example, the training and
 | ||
| evaluation data or pretrained vectors and embeddings to initialize your model
 | ||
| with. Each project template comes with a `project.yml` that defines the assets
 | ||
| to download and where to put them. The [`spacy project assets`](/api/cli#run)
 | ||
| will fetch the project assets for you:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ cd some_example_project
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project assets
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Asset URLs can be a number of different protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and
 | ||
| even cloud storage such as GCS and S3. You can also fetch assets using git, by
 | ||
| replacing the `url` string with a `git` block. spaCy will use Git's "sparse
 | ||
| checkout" feature to avoid downloading the whole repository.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Sometimes your project configuration may include large assets that you don't
 | ||
| necessarily want to download when you run `spacy project assets`. That's why
 | ||
| assets can be marked as [`extra`](#data-assets-url) - by default, these assets
 | ||
| are not downloaded. If they should be, run `spacy project assets --extra`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3. Run a command {id="run"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### project.yml
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > commands:
 | ||
| >   - name: preprocess
 | ||
| >     help: "Convert the input data to spaCy's format"
 | ||
| >     script:
 | ||
| >       - 'python -m spacy convert assets/train.conllu corpus/'
 | ||
| >       - 'python -m spacy convert assets/eval.conllu corpus/'
 | ||
| >     deps:
 | ||
| >       - 'assets/train.conllu'
 | ||
| >       - 'assets/eval.conllu'
 | ||
| >     outputs:
 | ||
| >       - 'corpus/train.spacy'
 | ||
| >       - 'corpus/eval.spacy'
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Commands consist of one or more steps and can be run with
 | ||
| [`spacy project run`](/api/cli#project-run). The following will run the command
 | ||
| `preprocess` defined in the `project.yml`:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project run preprocess
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Commands can define their expected [dependencies and outputs](#deps-outputs)
 | ||
| using the `deps` (files the commands require) and `outputs` (files the commands
 | ||
| create) keys. This allows your project to track changes and determine whether a
 | ||
| command needs to be re-run. For instance, if your input data changes, you want
 | ||
| to re-run the `preprocess` command. But if nothing changed, this step can be
 | ||
| skipped. You can also set `--force` to force re-running a command, or `--dry` to
 | ||
| perform a "dry run" and see what would happen (without actually running the
 | ||
| script).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Since spaCy v3.4.2, `spacy projects run` checks your installed dependencies to
 | ||
| verify that your environment is properly set up and aligns with the project's
 | ||
| `requirements.txt`, if there is one. If missing or conflicting dependencies are
 | ||
| detected, a corresponding warning is displayed. If you'd like to disable the
 | ||
| dependency check, set `check_requirements: false` in your project's
 | ||
| `project.yml`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 4. Run a workflow {id="run-workfow"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### project.yml
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > workflows:
 | ||
| >   all:
 | ||
| >     - preprocess
 | ||
| >     - train
 | ||
| >     - package
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Workflows are series of commands that are run in order and often depend on each
 | ||
| other. For instance, to generate a pipeline package, you might start by
 | ||
| converting your data, then run [`spacy train`](/api/cli#train) to train your
 | ||
| pipeline on the converted data and if that's successful, run
 | ||
| [`spacy package`](/api/cli#package) to turn the best trained artifact into an
 | ||
| installable Python package. The following command runs the workflow named `all`
 | ||
| defined in the `project.yml`, and executes the commands it specifies, in order:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project run all
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Using the expected [dependencies and outputs](#deps-outputs) defined in the
 | ||
| commands, spaCy can determine whether to re-run a command (if its inputs or
 | ||
| outputs have changed) or whether to skip it. If you're looking to implement more
 | ||
| advanced data pipelines and track your changes in Git, check out the
 | ||
| [Data Version Control (DVC) integration](#dvc). The
 | ||
| [`spacy project dvc`](/api/cli#project-dvc) command generates a DVC config file
 | ||
| from a workflow defined in your `project.yml` so you can manage your spaCy
 | ||
| project as a DVC repo.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 5. Optional: Push to remote storage {id="push"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > ### project.yml
 | ||
| > remotes:
 | ||
| >   default: 's3://my-spacy-bucket'
 | ||
| >   local: '/mnt/scratch/cache'
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| After training a pipeline, you can optionally use the
 | ||
| [`spacy project push`](/api/cli#project-push) command to upload your outputs to
 | ||
| a remote storage, using protocols like [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/),
 | ||
| [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage) or SSH. This can help
 | ||
| you **export** your pipeline packages, **share** work with your team, or **cache
 | ||
| results** to avoid repeating work.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project push
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The `remotes` section in your `project.yml` lets you assign names to the
 | ||
| different storages. To download state from a remote storage, you can use the
 | ||
| [`spacy project pull`](/api/cli#project-pull) command. For more details, see the
 | ||
| docs on [remote storage](#remote).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Project directory and assets {id="directory"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### project.yml {id="project-yml"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The `project.yml` defines the assets a project depends on, like datasets and
 | ||
| pretrained weights, as well as a series of commands that can be run separately
 | ||
| or as a workflow – for instance, to preprocess the data, convert it to spaCy's
 | ||
| format, train a pipeline, evaluate it and export metrics, package it and spin up
 | ||
| a quick web demo. It looks pretty similar to a config file used to define CI
 | ||
| pipelines.

| 
 | ||
| > #### Tip: Multi-line YAML syntax for long values
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > YAML has [multi-line syntax](https://yaml-multiline.info/) that can be helpful
 | ||
| > for readability with longer values such as project descriptions or commands
 | ||
| > that take several arguments.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml
 | ||
| %%GITHUB_PROJECTS/pipelines/tagger_parser_ud/project.yml
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Tip: Overriding variables on the CLI
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > If you want to override one or more variables on the CLI and are not already
 | ||
| > specifying a project directory, you need to add `.` as a placeholder:
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| > python -m spacy project run test . --vars.foo bar
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Tip: Environment Variables
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > Commands in a project file are not executed in a shell, so they don't have
 | ||
| > direct access to environment variables. But you can insert environment
 | ||
| > variables using the `env` dictionary to make values available for
 | ||
| > interpolation, just like values in `vars`. Here's an example `env` dict that
 | ||
| > makes `$PATH` available as `ENV_PATH`:
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > env:
 | ||
| >   ENV_PATH: PATH
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > This can be used in a project command like so:
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > - name: 'echo-path'
 | ||
| >   script:
 | ||
| >     - 'echo ${env.ENV_PATH}'
 | ||
| > ```

 | ||
| | `description`                                       | An optional project description used in [auto-generated docs](#custom-docs).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
 | ||
| | `vars`                                              | A dictionary of variables that can be referenced in paths, URLs and scripts and overriden on the CLI, just like [`config.cfg` variables](/usage/training#config-interpolation). For example, `${vars.name}` will use the value of the variable `name`. Variables need to be defined in the section `vars`, but can be a nested dict, so you're able to reference `${vars.model.name}`.                                                                                                                       |
 | ||
| | `env`                                               | A dictionary of variables, mapped to the names of environment variables that will be read in when running the project. For example, `${env.name}` will use the value of the environment variable defined as `name`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
 | ||
| | `directories`                                       | An optional list of [directories](#project-files) that should be created in the project for assets, training outputs, metrics etc. spaCy will make sure that these directories always exist.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
 | ||
| | `assets`                                            | A list of assets that can be fetched with the [`project assets`](/api/cli#project-assets) command. `url` defines a URL or local path, `dest` is the destination file relative to the project directory, and an optional `checksum` ensures that an error is raised if the file's checksum doesn't match. Instead of `url`, you can also provide a `git` block with the keys `repo`, `branch` and `path`, to download from a Git repo.                                                                        |
 | ||
| | `workflows`                                         | A dictionary of workflow names, mapped to a list of command names, to execute in order. Workflows can be run with the [`project run`](/api/cli#project-run) command.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
 | ||
| | `commands`                                          | A list of named commands. A command can define an optional help message (shown in the CLI when the user adds `--help`) and the `script`, a list of commands to run. The `deps` and `outputs` let you define the created file the command depends on and produces, respectively. This lets spaCy determine whether a command needs to be re-run because its dependencies or outputs changed. Commands can be run as part of a workflow, or separately with the [`project run`](/api/cli#project-run) command. |
 | ||
| | `spacy_version`                                     | Optional spaCy version range like `>=3.0.0,<3.1.0` that the project is compatible with. If it's loaded with an incompatible version, an error is raised when the project is loaded.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
 | ||
| | `check_requirements` <Tag variant="new">3.4.2</Tag> | A flag determining whether to verify that the installed dependencies align with the project's `requirements.txt`. Defaults to `true`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### Data assets {id="data-assets"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Assets are any files that your project might need, like training and development
 | ||
| corpora or pretrained weights for initializing your model. Assets are defined in
 | ||
| the `assets` block of your `project.yml` and can be downloaded using the
 | ||
| [`project assets`](/api/cli#project-assets) command. Defining checksums lets you
 | ||
| verify that someone else running your project will use the same files you used.
 | ||
| Asset URLs can be a number of different **protocols**: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH,
 | ||
| and even **cloud storage** such as GCS and S3. You can also download assets from
 | ||
| a **Git repo** instead.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #### Downloading from a URL or cloud storage {id="data-assets-url"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Under the hood, spaCy uses the
 | ||
| [`smart-open`](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/smart_open) library so you
 | ||
| can use any protocol it supports. Note that you may need to install extra
 | ||
| dependencies to use certain protocols.
 | ||

| | `dest`        | The destination path to save the downloaded asset to (relative to the project directory), including the file name.                                                               |
 | ||
| | `extra`       | Optional flag determining whether this asset is downloaded only if `spacy project assets` is run with `--extra`. `False` by default.                                             |
 | ||
| | `url`         | The URL to download from, using the respective protocol.                                                                                                                         |
 | ||
| | `checksum`    | Optional checksum of the file. If provided, it will be used to verify that the file matches and downloads will be skipped if a local file with the same checksum already exists. |
 | ||
| | `description` | Optional asset description, used in [auto-generated docs](#custom-docs).                                                                                                         |
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #### Downloading from a Git repo {id="data-assets-git"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| If a `git` block is provided, the asset is downloaded from the given Git
 | ||
| repository. You can download from any repo that you have access to. Under the
 | ||
| hood, this uses Git's "sparse checkout" feature, so you're only downloading the
 | ||
| files you need and not the whole repo.

| | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
 | ||
| | `dest`        | The destination path to save the downloaded asset to (relative to the project directory), including the file name.                                                                                                                    |
 | ||
| | `git`         | `repo`: The URL of the repo to download from.<br />`path`: Path of the file or directory to download, relative to the repo root. "" specifies the root directory.<br />`branch`: The branch to download from. Defaults to `"master"`. |
 | ||
| | `checksum`    | Optional checksum of the file. If provided, it will be used to verify that the file matches and downloads will be skipped if a local file with the same checksum already exists.                                                      |
 | ||
| | `description` | Optional asset description, used in [auto-generated docs](#custom-docs).                                                                                                                                                              |
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #### Working with private assets {id="data-asets-private"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### project.yml
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > assets:
 | ||
| >   - dest: 'assets/private_training_data.json'
 | ||
| >     checksum: '63373dd656daa1fd3043ce166a59474c'
 | ||
| >   - dest: 'assets/private_vectors.bin'
 | ||
| >     checksum: '5113dc04e03f079525edd8df3f4f39e3'
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| For many projects, the datasets and weights you're working with might be
 | ||
| company-internal and not available over the internet. In that case, you can
 | ||
| specify the destination paths and a checksum, and leave out the URL. When your
 | ||
| teammates clone and run your project, they can place the files in the respective
 | ||
| directory themselves. The [`project assets`](/api/cli#project-assets) command
 | ||
| will alert you about missing files and mismatched checksums, so you can ensure
 | ||
| that others are running your project with the same data.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### Dependencies and outputs {id="deps-outputs"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Each command defined in the `project.yml` can optionally define a list of
 | ||
| dependencies and outputs. These are the files the command requires and creates.
 | ||
| For example, a command for training a pipeline may depend on a
 | ||
| [`config.cfg`](/usage/training#config) and the training and evaluation data, and
 | ||
| it will export a directory `model-best`, which you can then re-use in other
 | ||
| commands.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| {/* prettier-ignore */}
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| commands:
 | ||
|   - name: train
 | ||
|     help: 'Train a spaCy pipeline using the specified corpus and config'
 | ||
|     script:
 | ||
|       - 'python -m spacy train ./configs/config.cfg -o training/ --paths.train ./corpus/training.spacy --paths.dev ./corpus/evaluation.spacy'
 | ||
|     deps:
 | ||
|       - 'configs/config.cfg'
 | ||
|       - 'corpus/training.spacy'
 | ||
|       - 'corpus/evaluation.spacy'
 | ||
|     outputs:
 | ||
|       - 'training/model-best'
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Re-running vs. skipping
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > Under the hood, spaCy uses a `project.lock` lockfile that stores the details
 | ||
| > for each command, as well as its dependencies and outputs and their checksums.
 | ||
| > It's updated on each run. If any of this information changes, the command will
 | ||
| > be re-run. Otherwise, it will be skipped.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| If you're running a command and it depends on files that are missing, spaCy will
 | ||
| show you an error. If a command defines dependencies and outputs that haven't
 | ||
| changed since the last run, the command will be skipped. This means that you're
 | ||
| only re-running commands if they need to be re-run. Commands can also set
 | ||
| `no_skip: true` if they should never be skipped – for example commands that run
 | ||
| tests. Commands without outputs are also never skipped. To force re-running a
 | ||
| command or workflow, even if nothing changed, you can set the `--force` flag.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Note that [`spacy project`](/api/cli#project) doesn't compile any dependency
 | ||
| graphs based on the dependencies and outputs, and won't re-run previous steps
 | ||
| automatically. For instance, if you only run the command `train` that depends on
 | ||
| data created by `preprocess` and those files are missing, spaCy will show an
 | ||
| error – it won't just re-run `preprocess`. If you're looking for more advanced
 | ||
| data management, check out the [Data Version Control (DVC) integration](#dvc).
 | ||
| If you're planning on integrating your spaCy project with DVC, you can also use
 | ||
| `outputs_no_cache` instead of `outputs` to define outputs that won't be cached
 | ||
| or tracked.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### Files and directory structure {id="project-files"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The `project.yml` can define a list of `directories` that should be created
 | ||
| within a project – for instance, `assets`, `training`, `corpus` and so on. spaCy
 | ||
| will make sure that these directories are always available, so your commands can
 | ||
| write to and read from them. Project directories will also include all files and
 | ||
| directories copied from the project template with
 | ||
| [`spacy project clone`](/api/cli#project-clone). Here's an example of a project
 | ||
| directory:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### project.yml
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > {/* prettier-ignore */}
 | ||
| > ```yaml
 | ||
| > directories: ['assets', 'configs', 'corpus', 'metas', 'metrics', 'notebooks', 'packages', 'scripts', 'training']
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="Example project directory"}
 | ||
| ├── project.yml          # the project settings
 | ||
| ├── project.lock         # lockfile that tracks inputs/outputs
 | ||
| ├── assets/              # downloaded data assets
 | ||
| ├── configs/             # pipeline config.cfg files used for training
 | ||
| ├── corpus/              # output directory for training corpus
 | ||
| ├── metas/               # pipeline meta.json templates used for packaging
 | ||
| ├── metrics/             # output directory for evaluation metrics
 | ||
| ├── notebooks/           # directory for Jupyter notebooks
 | ||
| ├── packages/            # output directory for pipeline Python packages
 | ||
| ├── scripts/             # directory for scripts, e.g. referenced in commands
 | ||
| ├── training/            # output directory for trained pipelines
 | ||
| └── ...                  # any other files, like a requirements.txt etc.
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| If you don't want a project to create a directory, you can delete it and remove
 | ||
| its entry from the `project.yml` – just make sure it's not required by any of
 | ||
| the commands. [Custom templates](#custom) can use any directories they need –
 | ||
| the only file that's required for a project is the `project.yml`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Custom scripts and projects {id="custom"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The `project.yml` lets you define any custom commands and run them as part of
 | ||
| your training, evaluation or deployment workflows. The `script` section defines
 | ||
| a list of commands that are called in a subprocess, in order. This lets you
 | ||
| execute other Python scripts or command-line tools. Let's say you've written a
 | ||
| few integration tests that load the best model produced by the training command
 | ||
| and check that it works correctly. You can now define a `test` command that
 | ||
| calls into [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/), runs your tests and
 | ||
| uses [`pytest-html`](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-html) to export a test
 | ||
| report:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| commands:
 | ||
|   - name: test
 | ||
|     help: 'Test the trained pipeline'
 | ||
|     script:
 | ||
|       - 'pip install pytest pytest-html'
 | ||
|       - 'python -m pytest ./scripts/tests --html=metrics/test-report.html'
 | ||
|     deps:
 | ||
|       - 'training/model-best'
 | ||
|     outputs:
 | ||
|       - 'metrics/test-report.html'
 | ||
|     no_skip: true
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Adding `training/model-best` to the command's `deps` lets you ensure that the
 | ||
| file is available. If not, spaCy will show an error and the command won't run.
 | ||
| Setting `no_skip: true` means that the command will always run, even if the
 | ||
| dependencies (the trained pipeline) haven't changed. This makes sense here,
 | ||
| because you typically don't want to skip your tests.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### Writing custom scripts {id="custom-scripts"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Your project commands can include any custom scripts – essentially, anything you
 | ||
| can run from the command line. Here's an example of a custom script that uses
 | ||
| [`typer`](https://typer.tiangolo.com/) for quick and easy command-line arguments
 | ||
| that you can define via your `project.yml`:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### About Typer
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > [`typer`](https://typer.tiangolo.com/) is a modern library for building Python
 | ||
| > CLIs using type hints. It's a dependency of spaCy, so it will already be
 | ||
| > pre-installed in your environment. Function arguments automatically become
 | ||
| > positional CLI arguments and using Python type hints, you can define the value
 | ||
| > types. For instance, `batch_size: int` means that the value provided via the
 | ||
| > command line is converted to an integer.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```python {title="scripts/custom_evaluation.py"}
 | ||
| import typer
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| def custom_evaluation(batch_size: int = 128, model_path: str, data_path: str):
 | ||
|     # The arguments are now available as positional CLI arguments
 | ||
|     print(batch_size, model_path, data_path)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| if __name__ == "__main__":
 | ||
|     typer.run(custom_evaluation)
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| In your `project.yml`, you can then run the script by calling
 | ||
| `python scripts/custom_evaluation.py` with the function arguments. You can also
 | ||
| use the `vars` section to define reusable variables that will be substituted in
 | ||
| commands, paths and URLs. In this example, the batch size is defined as a
 | ||
| variable will be added in place of `${vars.batch_size}` in the script. Just like
 | ||
| in the [training config](/usage/training##config-overrides), you can also
 | ||
| override settings on the command line – for example using `--vars.batch_size`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Calling into Python
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > If any of your command scripts call into `python`, spaCy will take care of
 | ||
| > replacing that with your `sys.executable`, to make sure you're executing
 | ||
| > everything with the same Python (not some other Python installed on your
 | ||
| > system). It also normalizes references to `python3`, `pip3` and `pip`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| {/* prettier-ignore */}
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| vars:
 | ||
|   batch_size: 128
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| commands:
 | ||
|   - name: evaluate
 | ||
|     script:
 | ||
|       - 'python scripts/custom_evaluation.py ${vars.batch_size} ./training/model-best ./corpus/eval.json'
 | ||
|     deps:
 | ||
|       - 'training/model-best'
 | ||
|       - 'corpus/eval.json'
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| You can also use the `env` section to reference **environment variables** and
 | ||
| make their values available to the commands. This can be useful for overriding
 | ||
| settings on the command line and passing through system-level settings.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Usage example
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```bash
 | ||
| > export GPU_ID=1
 | ||
| > BATCH_SIZE=128 python -m spacy project run evaluate
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| env:
 | ||
|   batch_size: BATCH_SIZE
 | ||
|   gpu_id: GPU_ID
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| commands:
 | ||
|   - name: evaluate
 | ||
|     script:
 | ||
|       - 'python scripts/custom_evaluation.py ${env.batch_size}'
 | ||
| ```

| **auto-generate** a pretty, Markdown-formatted `README` file based on your
 | ||
| project's `project.yml`. It will list all commands, workflows and assets defined
 | ||
| in the project and include details on how to run the project, as well as links
 | ||
| to the relevant spaCy documentation to make it easy for others to get started
 | ||
| using your project.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project document --output README.md
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Under the hood, hidden markers are added to identify where the auto-generated
 | ||
| content starts and ends. This means that you can add your own custom content
 | ||
| before or after it and re-running the `project document` command will **only
 | ||
| update the auto-generated part**. This makes it easy to keep your documentation
 | ||
| up to date.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <Infobox variant="warning">
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Note that the contents of an existing file will be **replaced** if no existing
 | ||
| auto-generated docs are found. If you want spaCy to ignore a file and not update
 | ||
| it, you can add the comment marker `{/* SPACY PROJECT: IGNORE */}` anywhere in
 | ||
| your markup.

 | ||

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### Cloning from your own repo {id="custom-repo"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The [`spacy project clone`](/api/cli#project-clone) command lets you customize
 | ||
| the repo to clone from using the `--repo` option. It calls into `git`, so you'll
 | ||
| be able to clone from any repo that you have access to, including private repos.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| python -m spacy project clone your_project --repo https://github.com/you/repo
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| At a minimum, a valid project template needs to contain a
 | ||
| [`project.yml`](#project-yml). It can also include
 | ||
| [other files](/usage/projects#project-files), like custom scripts, a
 | ||
| `requirements.txt` listing additional dependencies,
 | ||
| [training configs](/usage/training#config) and model meta templates, or Jupyter
 | ||
| notebooks with usage examples.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <Infobox title="Important note about assets" variant="warning">
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| It's typically not a good idea to check large data assets, trained pipelines or
 | ||
| other artifacts into a Git repo and you should exclude them from your project
 | ||
| template by adding a `.gitignore`. If you want to version your data and models,
 | ||
| check out [Data Version Control](#dvc) (DVC), which integrates with spaCy
 | ||
| projects.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| </Infobox>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## Remote Storage {id="remote"}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| You can persist your project outputs to a remote storage using the
 | ||
| [`project push`](/api/cli#project-push) command. This can help you **export**
 | ||
| your pipeline packages, **share** work with your team, or **cache results** to
 | ||
| avoid repeating work. The [`project pull`](/api/cli#project-pull) command will
 | ||
| download any outputs that are in the remote storage and aren't available
 | ||
| locally.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| You can list one or more remotes in the `remotes` section of your
 | ||
| [`project.yml`](#project-yml) by mapping a string name to the URL of the
 | ||
| storage. Under the hood, spaCy uses
 | ||
| [`Pathy`](https://github.com/justindujardin/pathy) to communicate with the
 | ||
| remote storages, so you can use any protocol that `Pathy` supports, including
 | ||
| [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/),
 | ||
| [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage), and the local
 | ||
| filesystem, although you may need to install extra dependencies to use certain
 | ||
| protocols.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Example
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```bash
 | ||
| > $ python -m spacy project pull local
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| remotes:
 | ||
|   default: 's3://my-spacy-bucket'
 | ||
|   local: '/mnt/scratch/cache'
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <Infobox title="How it works" emoji="💡">
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Inside the remote storage, spaCy uses a clever **directory structure** to avoid
 | ||
| overwriting files. The top level of the directory structure is a URL-encoded
 | ||
| version of the output's path. Within this directory are subdirectories named
 | ||
| according to a hash of the command string and the command's dependencies.
 | ||
| Finally, within those directories are files, named according to an MD5 hash of
 | ||
| their contents.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| {/* TODO: update with actual real example? */}
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| {/* prettier-ignore */}
 | ||
| ```yaml
 | ||
| └── urlencoded_file_path            # Path of original file
 | ||
|     ├── some_command_hash           # Hash of command you ran
 | ||
|     │   ├── some_content_hash       # Hash of file content
 | ||
|     │   └── another_content_hash
 | ||
|     └── another_command_hash
 | ||
|         └── third_content_hash
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| </Infobox>
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| For instance, let's say you had the following command in your `project.yml`:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```yaml {title="project.yml"}
 | ||
| - name: train
 | ||
|   help: 'Train a spaCy pipeline using the specified corpus and config'
 | ||
|   script:
 | ||
|     - 'spacy train ./config.cfg --output training/'
 | ||
|   deps:
 | ||
|     - 'corpus/train'
 | ||
|     - 'corpus/dev'
 | ||
|     - 'config.cfg'
 | ||
|   outputs:
 | ||
|     - 'training/model-best'
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Example
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| > └── s3://my-spacy-bucket/training%2Fmodel-best
 | ||
| >     └── 1d8cb33a06cc345ad3761c6050934a1b
 | ||
| >         └── d8e20c3537a084c5c10d95899fe0b1ff
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| After you finish training, you run [`project push`](/api/cli#project-push) to
 | ||
| make sure the `training/model-best` output is saved to remote storage. spaCy
 | ||
| will then construct a hash from your command script and the listed dependencies,
 | ||
| `corpus/train`, `corpus/dev` and `config.cfg`, in order to identify the
 | ||
| execution context of your output. It would then compute an MD5 hash of the
 | ||
| `training/model-best` directory, and use those three pieces of information to
 | ||
| construct the storage URL.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project run train
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy project push
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| If you change the command or one of its dependencies (for instance, by editing
 | ||
| the [`config.cfg`](/usage/training#config) file to tune the hyperparameters, a
 | ||
| different creation hash will be calculated, so when you use
 | ||
| [`project push`](/api/cli#project-push) you won't be overwriting your previous
 | ||
| file. The system even supports multiple outputs for the same file and the same
 | ||
| context, which can happen if your training process is not deterministic, or if
 | ||
| you have dependencies that aren't represented in the command.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| In summary, the [`spacy project`](/api/cli#project) remote storages are designed
 | ||
| to make a particular set of trade-offs. Priority is placed on **convenience**,
 | ||
| **correctness** and **avoiding data loss**. You can use
 | ||
| [`project push`](/api/cli#project-push) freely, as you'll never overwrite remote
 | ||
| state, and you don't have to come up with names or version numbers. However,
 | ||
| it's up to you to manage the size of your remote storage, and to remove files
 | ||
| that are no longer relevant to you.

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Data assets like training corpora or pretrained weights are at the core of any
 | ||
| NLP project, but they're often difficult to manage: you can't just check them
 | ||
| into your Git repo to version and keep track of them. And if you have multiple
 | ||
| steps that depend on each other, like a preprocessing step that generates your
 | ||
| training data, you need to make sure the data is always up-to-date, and re-run
 | ||
| all steps of your process every time, just to be safe.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| [Data Version Control](https://dvc.org) (DVC) is a standalone open-source tool
 | ||
| that integrates into your workflow like Git, builds a dependency graph for your
 | ||
| data pipelines and tracks and caches your data files. If you're downloading data
 | ||
| from an external source, like a storage bucket, DVC can tell whether the
 | ||
| resource has changed. It can also determine whether to re-run a step, depending
 | ||
| on whether its input have changed or not. All metadata can be checked into a Git
 | ||
| repo, so you'll always be able to reproduce your experiments.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| To set up DVC, install the package and initialize your spaCy project as a Git
 | ||
| and DVC repo. You can also
 | ||
| [customize your DVC installation](https://dvc.org/doc/install/macos#install-with-pip)
 | ||
| to include support for remote storage like Google Cloud Storage, S3, Azure, SSH
 | ||
| and more.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ pip install dvc   # Install DVC
 | ||
| $ git init          # Initialize a Git repo
 | ||
| $ dvc init          # Initialize a DVC project

 | ||
| <Infobox title="Important note on privacy" variant="warning">

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The [`spacy project dvc`](/api/cli#project-dvc) command creates a `dvc.yaml`
 | ||
| config file based on a workflow defined in your `project.yml`. Whenever you
 | ||
| update your project, you can re-run the command to update your DVC config. You
 | ||
| can then manage your spaCy project like any other DVC project, run
 | ||
| [`dvc add`](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/add) to add and track assets
 | ||
| and [`dvc repro`](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/repro) to reproduce the

 | ||
|

| [Prodigy](https://prodi.gy) is a modern annotation tool for creating training
 | ||
| data for machine learning models, developed by us. It integrates with spaCy
 | ||
| out-of-the-box and provides many different
 | ||
| [annotation recipes](https://prodi.gy/docs/recipes) for a variety of NLP tasks,
 | ||
| with and without a model in the loop. If Prodigy is installed in your project,
 | ||
| you can start the annotation server from your `project.yml` for a tight feedback
 | ||
| loop between data development and training.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| <Infobox variant="warning">
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| This integration requires [Prodigy v1.11](https://prodi.gy/docs/changelog#v1.11)

| 
 | ||
| The [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/) lets you upload models and share
 | ||
| them with others. It hosts models as Git-based repositories which are storage
 | ||
| spaces that can contain all your files. It support versioning, branches and
 | ||
| custom metadata out-of-the-box, and provides browser-based visualizers for
 | ||
| exploring your models interactively, as well as an API for production use. The
 | ||
| [`spacy-huggingface-hub`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-huggingface-hub)
 | ||
| package automatically adds the `huggingface-hub` command to your `spacy` CLI if
 | ||
| it's installed.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > #### Installation
 | ||
| >
 | ||
| > ```bash
 | ||
| > $ pip install spacy-huggingface-hub
 | ||
| > # Check that the CLI is registered
 | ||
| > $ python -m spacy huggingface-hub --help
 | ||
| > ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| You can then upload any pipeline packaged with
 | ||
| [`spacy package`](/api/cli#package). Make sure to set `--build wheel` to output
 | ||
| a binary `.whl` file. The uploader will read all metadata from the pipeline
 | ||
| package, including the auto-generated pretty `README.md` and the model details
 | ||
| available in the `meta.json`. For examples, check out the
 | ||
| [spaCy pipelines](https://huggingface.co/spacy) we've uploaded.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```bash
 | ||
| $ huggingface-cli login
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy package ./en_ner_fashion ./output --build wheel
 | ||
| $ cd ./output/en_ner_fashion-0.0.0/dist
 | ||
| $ python -m spacy huggingface-hub push en_ner_fashion-0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| After uploading, you will see the live URL of your pipeline packages, as well as
 | ||
| the direct URL to the model wheel you can install via `pip install`. You'll also
 | ||
| be able to test your pipeline interactively from your browser:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| In your `project.yml`, you can add a command that uploads your trained and
 | ||
| packaged pipeline to the hub. You can either run this as a manual step, or
 | ||
| automatically as part of a workflow. Make sure to set `--build wheel` when
 | ||
| running `spacy package` to build a wheel file for your pipeline package.

| Get started with uploading your models to the Hugging Face hub using our project
 | ||
| template. It trains a simple pipeline, packages it and uploads it if the
 | ||
| packaged model has changed. This makes it easy to deploy your models end-to-end.
