TerminusDB (open source graph DB) had a 'Show HN' article a couple of months ago - since then work has focused on the delivery of collaborative Git-like functionality for the DB. I thought the community might be interested in this white paper (a bit CS heavy, but this is probably the right place for that).
We want to enable the types of CI/CD used extensively in software engineering to be used with data. Terminus 2.0 allows for the whole suite of revision control features: branch, merge, squash, rollback, blame, and time-travel. We are building a TerminusHub server linking TerminusDBs and allowing users to collaborate. The idea is to build a decentralized tool for version control of structured data. It will be offline-first, reliable, private, efficient and collaborative, but also to provide a Hub server if users don't want to spin up their own.
