Datasets in Git
Sno stores geospatial and tabular data in Git, providing version control at the row and cell level.
Built on Git, works like Git
Uses standard Git repositories and Git-like CLI commands. If you know Git, you’ll feel right at home with Sno.
Supports current GIS workflows
Provides repository working copies as GIS databases and files. Edit directly in common GIS software without plugins.
Features
Your choice of format
Support for GeoPackage and PostGIS for your working copy format, with more coming soon.
Common GIS data types
Sno supports regular vector GIS point, line, and polygon features.
Flexible repository layout
Store multiple datasets per repository, and organize by project or dataset.
Performance
Nearly all Sno operations are performed locally — a huge advantage over server-based systems.
Branch and merge
Sno supports multiple independent local branches — create, merge, and delete them in seconds.
Full change history
Review, compare, and quickly switch to any change made since the dataset's inception.
Synchronize data
Accurately synchronize datasets between systems in seconds. Sno moves and applies a minimal compressed set of changes.
Tabular data support
Sno also supports non-geospatial flat data tables — stored alone or in repositories with vector geospatial data.
Roadmap
More working copy formats
Support for raster and grid data, followed by additional SQL databases and GIS file formats.
Improvements to merges
Better support for resolving conflicting changes between branches.
Flexible dataset repo structure
Solo or mulitiple dataset repos including full branch support, including schema changes per dataset.
Complex schema changes
Add and remove dataset attributes or columns, and still be able to sync changes with others.
