    target: str,
    project: Optional[str] = None,
    rev: Optional[str] = None,
    fs: Optional[AbstractFileSystem] = None,
    target_project: Optional[str] = None,
    target_fs: Optional[str] = None,
    follow_links: bool = True,
    load_value: bool = False,

cloned_obj = clone(path="rf", target="mymodel", project="https://github.com/iterative/example-mlem-get-started", rev="main")

Description

This API is the underlying mechanism for the mlem clone command and facilitates copying of a MLEM Object from source to target.

Parameters

• path (required) - Path to the object. Could be local path or path inside a git repo.
• target (required) - Path to save the copy of initial object to.
• project (optional) - URL to project if object is located there.
• rev (optional) - revision, could be git commit SHA, branch name or tag.
• fs (optional) - filesystem to load object from
• target_project (optional) - path to project to save cloned object to
• target_fs (optional) - target filesystem
• follow_links (optional) - If object we read is a MLEM link, whether to loadthe actual object link points to. Defaults to True.
• load_value (optional) - Load actual python object incorporated in MlemObject. Defaults to False.

Returns

MlemObject: Copy of initial object saved to out.

Exceptions

None

Example: Clone a remote model to a remote project

from mlem.api import clone

cloned_obj = clone(path="rf", target="mymodel", project="https://github.com/iterative/example-mlem-get-started", rev="main", target_project="s3://mybucket/mymodel", load_value=True)
