thanks for the mention of TerminusDB (https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb) -> we are the graph cousins of Dolt. Great to see so much energy in the version control database world!

We are currently focused on data mesh use cases. Rather than trying to be GitHub for Data, we're trying to be YOUR GitHub for Data. Get all that good git lineage, pull, push, clone etc. and have data producers in your org own their data.

We see lots of organizations with big 'shadow data' problems and data being centrally managed rather than curated by domain experts.
