Configuring SciDataFlow

Much like Git, the SciDataFlow command line tool has a user configuration file stored in the user's home directory (at ~/.scidataflow_config). Currently, this configuration file is predominantly used to store user metadata, such as full name, email, affiliation. Since some remote data repositories like Zenodo require this information, SciDataFlow automatically propagates this metadata from the configuration file.

You can set your user metadata with:

$ sdf config --name "Joan B. Scientist" \
      --email "joanbscientist@berkeley.edu" \
      --affiliation "UC Berkeley"

In the future, other user-specific configurations will be stored here too.
