We're doing something a bit similar at DoltHub, where databases are managed with a GitHub like workflow, and where you get the pros and cons of that kind of system. Our hospital price database (work ongoing daily) is community built: https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/transparency-in... (context: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NifwgKHBCeF35ZRZsfpgg4bE... )

What’s up with the name? A ‘dolt’ is a stupid person, at least in the English language.

“git” is also a stupid person - and dolt is git for data

My mate used to say "git" to say something is fine/good (to him).

That's just the British pronunciation of 'perfect'.
