Dolt combines the convenience and ease of use of a relational database, with the elegance of the Git version control model, all delivered as an open source tool.
Dolt is Git for data. Git versions files. Dolt versions tables. Dolt looks a lot like Git all the way down to the help documentation. We didn't want a better version control interface. We just wanted a version-controlled database. Dolt can version any set of tables from a small Excel spreadsheet to a terabyte-scale database.
Dolt is also a relational database. Dolt stores data in tables with schemas. You can interact with the database using SQL.
Dolt uses a custom database engine to provide fast operations and efficient storage for large tables. Dolt treats rows as unordered and understands columns, so diffs and merges are table cell-based instead of line-based, providing a more ergonomic data-versioning experience.

To complement Dolt, we built DoltHub. As GitHub is to Git, so DoltHub is to Dolt.
DoltHub is a cloud hosting service for Dolt databases that allows users to leverage the power of the Git workflow in order to collaboratively create and maintain databases that are accessible using the SQL semantics we know and love, all while keeping a copy of the data on a secure, cloud-hosted platform.
We host public data for free, so if you want to colloborate with friends to build relational databases accssible to the public, DoltHub is the perfect tool for you! We also host up to 100GB of private data for a $50 a month, and $1 for each increment of 10GB beyond the first 100.
