An end to end data preparation tool to onboard data to filecoin. This involves generating car files, splitting them up to be of a user-specified size and calculating commP, i.e. all the steps involved in data preparation in order to make storage deals on filecoin
go install github.com/anjor/go-fil-dataprep/cmd/data-prep@latest
The cli supports 2 commands -- fil-data-prep and split-and-commp.
This command transforms data into a bunch of car files sized "correctly" (target size provided as an input), calculates commP and saves all of this data in a metadata file. It also prints out the root cid for the IPLD dag to stdout.
The --output flag will optionally prefix resulting car filenames with the provided string
$data-prep fil-data-prep --size 100000000000 --metadata meta.csv --output test 5gb-filecoin-payload.bin
root cid = bafybeihsshuadcxukrkye76kfeci5mbs7v7o5iq32d2xhzygxnj6s7asw4
$ cat meta.csv

This command takes in a car file and splits it into smaller car files of the provided size (roughly). It also calculates commp at the same time and writes it out to a metadata file.
$data-prep split-and-commp --size 10000 --output a --metadata ma.csv file.car
