Commands Cheatsheet

Overview

The command examples below generally use the placeholder train operation and related sample flags like lr, dropout, etc. Replace these values with your own.

Short-form options are used for Guild commands when available. Refer to command help for long form.

Install Guild

Latest release:

pip install guildai --upgrade

Latest pre-release:

pip install guildai --upgrade --pre

Check Guild after install:

guild check

Run an Operation

Run a script:

guild run train.py

Run an operation defined in a Guild file:

guild run train

Run with flag values:

guild run train lr=0.1 dropout=0.2

Run without prompting:

guild run train -y

Stage an operation without running it:

guild run train --stage

Start a staged run:

guild run --start RUN-ID

Use command indirection (Bash compatible shells only) to start the latest staged run:

guild run --stage `guild select -G`

Restart a run:

guild run --restart RUN-ID

Restart the lastest run using command indirection (Bash compatible shells only):

guild run --restart `guild select`

Start a new run using another run as a prototype:

guild run --proto RUN-ID

Start a new run using the latest as a prototype (Bash compatible shells only):

guild run --proto `guild select`

Run a Batch

Run four trials given two values for two flags:

guild run train lr=[0.01,0.1] dropout=[0.1,0.2]

Run 20 random trials using flag values from a uniform and log-uniform distribution:

guild run train lr=loguniform[1e-5:1e-1] dropout=[0.1:0.9] -m 20

Run 20 random trials but use Bayesan optimization instead of random:

guild run train lr=loguniform[1e-5:1e-1] dropout=[0.1:0.9] -Fo gp -m 20

Get Help

General Guild help:

guild --help

Help for a command:

guild COMMAND --help

Help for an operation:

guild run OPERATION --help-op

Help for the current project:

Debug an Operation

Test source code rules:

guild run train --test-sourcecode

Test output scalar rules on the latest run output:

guild cat --output | guild run train --test-output-scalars -

Test output scalar rules interactively (i.e. type sample output to evaluate and press Enter):

guild run train --test-output-scalars -

Test flag imports:

guild run train --test-flags

Stage a run to examine its file layout:

guild run train --stage --run-dir /tmp/staged-run
