Git for JSON

git your dict

Use Git as a key-value store that can track and merge arbitrary data in Python:

>>> r = jsongit.init('repo')
>>> foo = r.commit('foo', {})
>>> bar = r.merge('bar', 'foo').result
>>> foo['roses'] = 'red'
>>> bar['violets'] = 'blue'
>>> foo.commit()
>>> bar.commit()
>>> foo.merge(bar).message
u'Auto-merge from ee0badced484570b36bb219ad81567098e9995a7'
>>> foo.value
{u'roses': u'red', u'violets': u'blue'}
>>> log = foo.log()
>>> pprint([commit.object.value for commit in log])
[{u'roses': u'red', u'violets': u'blue'},
 {u'violets': u'blue'},
 {},
 {u'roses': u'red'},
 {}]
...
