Dolt for Git Noobs

TLDR

  • Dolt is a SQL database with built-in Git versioning, branching, and distribution semantics that makes collaborating on and distributing data effortless.
  • What Git does for files, Dolt does for data.
  • Where Git versions files, allowing for fine-grained control, tracking, and management of files over time, Dolt versions data and database schema, allowing for fine-grained control throughout an entire Dolt repository and every branch it houses.
  • Where Git supports the branching and merging of files for true user collaboration, Dolt supports branching and merging of data and databases, finally giving data producers and data consumers the tool they need to truly collaborate on data in a meaningful way.

If this is interesting and you don't know much about Git or SQL databases, read the full blog on DoltHub
