Should data have sample data in it instead of real data? #4

Is it sample data at the moment? If someone forks from this repo to use this, will they overwrite your data and push it?

I'm not sure what your plan is here - it's a cool way to back up your own data, but could start getting tricky further down the line if people want to use it as well? (me).

@simonv3 you're absolutely right about this. I've been throwing things together ad-hoc as I need for my real use cases. I just pushed an update that did the following:

Removed my personal data
Added template .json and .csv files
Added the --input arg that loads a given file

It'd be great if you pulled and tested playing with some data :)

My larger goal is implement it as a per Data Packages so that it's easy to pull around, replicate and munge differing type of data files!

I'll try using it with a new project. I had a look at Data Packages, and it looks like you're getting pretty close to that?
