kvgit 0.1.5

Versioned key-value store with git-like commit, branch, and merge semantics.

kvgit 🔀

Git-style versioning for your data. Commits, branches, and merges -- backed by a dict-like MutableMapping.

Features	Description
Dict interface	MutableMapping[str, Any] -- reads and writes work like a dict
Commits	Immutable, content-addressable snapshots with rollback
Branches	Cheap forks with CAS-based optimistic concurrency
Three-way merge	Auto-merges non-overlapping changes; pluggable merge fns for conflicts
Garbage collection	High/low water rebase drops cold keys automatically
Pluggable backends	In-memory, disk (diskcache), git (GitPython), or bring your own KVStore

Install

pip install kvgit            # in-memory only
pip install kvgit[disk]      # adds disk backend via diskcache
pip install kvgit[git]       # adds git backend via GitPython (requires git on PATH)

Quick example

import kvgit

main = kvgit.store()

main["user"] = "alice"
main["score"] = 0
main.commit()

# Branch and diverge
dev = main.create_branch("dev")
dev["score"] = 999
dev.commit()

print(main["score"])  # 0   (main unchanged)
print(dev["score"])   # 999 (dev branch)

Development
