Installation

Any of the below methods can be used to access PixV.

• Install PixV with pip

    pip install pixv
  

• Clone the repository and use feature.py in src directory to access all commands

  git clone https://github.com/ReallyJaegar/PixV.git
  pip install -r requirements.txt

  pthon3 feature.py [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

Features

• Add New Image in PixV

To intialise the tree of version control system. Further versions can only be created once the root node is created.

It creates a root node (nodes.rootNode).

• pixv add [path/to/image.png] --author [NAME]
  

  or

• python3 feature.py add [path/to/image.png] --author [NAME]"
  

• Commit Changes

To add versions to the image once the root node (nodes.rootNode) has been initialised.

Wont work if the nodes.rootNode has not been initialised.

• pixv commit [path/to/image.png] --message [COMMIT MESSAGE] --author [NAME]
  

  or

• python3 feature.py commit path/to/image.png --message "commit_message" --author "Name of author"
  

• Logs :

Displays all the versions of the image availiable in the project along with their uuid ,author ,time, commit_message.

To use the function run the following command in your terminal :

• pixv logs [path/to/image.png]
  

  or

• python3 feature.py logs path/to/image.png 
  

• Push and Pull

Push : It uploads local repository content to a remote repository.

Pull : It fetches changes from a remote repository

Commands :

• • Push: python3 feature.py push path/to/image.png
  • Pull: python3 feature.py push path/to/image.png

  or

• • Push: pixv push [path/to/image.png]
  • Pull: pixv push [path/to/image.png]

• Forward & Revert

Forward : Feature to move to Next availiable Version

Revert : Feature to move back to the previous Version

Commands:

Forward : python3 feature.py forward path/to/image.png

Revert : python3 feature.py revert path/to/image.png

or

Forward : pixv forward [path/to/image.png]

Revert : pixv feature.py revert [path/to/image.png]

• Shift

Can Shift to any version of the image using only this following command:

• python3 feature.py shift path/to/image.png --id [unique id of the version]

or

• pixv shift [path/to/image.png] --id [unique id of the version]

Note : unique id can be seen using Logs command

• Hist

Using this function the user will be able to visualize the complete graph structure in the terminal.

• python3 feature.py hist [image.png] or
• pixv hist [image.png]

The graph structure will look like this:

• Locate

Using this function user can locate where head is pointing.

• python3 feature.py locate path/to/image.png or

• pixv locate [path/to/image.png]

• Original

Brings back the original version of the image

• python3 feature.py original path/to/image.png or
• pixv original [path/to/image.png]

• Show

Using the following command user can load the image on the current HEAD location in the imageGraph :

• python3 feature.py show [name of image]
  

or

• pixv show [nameofimage]

Optimizations

We've enhanced the version control system to minimize storage usage by storing only the changes between consecutive versions.

Dependencies

• Pillow==10.0.1

• numpy==1.26.1

• requests==2.31.0

• matplotlib==3.8.2

• click==8.1.7

If you want to create your own server for file sharing :

• Use the file_server.py

Future Development Goals

• Adding Merge Operation

• GUI for the Version Control System

• Can be operated for any type of image format
