Instructions
Core Capabilities
- Spatial data versioning: Track changes to GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoParquet
- Lineage tracking: Dataset provenance, transformation history, audit trail
- Collaboration: Merge strategies for spatial data conflicts (geometry-aware diff)
- Reproducibility: Version-controlled analysis pipelines with spatial checksums
- Branch strategies: Feature-branch workflows for spatial analyses
Key Imports
from geo_infer_git.core.versioning import SpatialVersionControl
from geo_infer_git.core.lineage import DataLineageTracker
from geo_infer_git.core.collaboration import SpatialMergeEngine
from geo_infer_git.core.checksum import SpatialChecksumCalculator
Examples
from geo_infer_git.core.versioning import SpatialVersionControl
vcs = SpatialVersionControl(repo_path="./spatial_data")
vcs.track("boundaries.geojson")
vcs.commit("Updated county boundaries from 2026 census")
diff = vcs.diff("HEAD~1", "HEAD", file="boundaries.geojson")
print(f"Changed features: {diff.added + diff.modified + diff.deleted}")
Guidelines
Integrations
- Integrates with DATA for format-aware versioning
- Test:
uv run python -m pytest GEO-INFER-GIT/tests/ -v
