Dolt is Git for Data

I use dolthub's public database to practice queries.

I gave their bounty program a shot but I quit when I was prompted to download/clone a 8gb database. So the best thing would be to have a dolthub account and develop the data from there.

I think if you do a little bit of git hacking you can create a branch with just an empty or a dummy database based on the schema, clone only that branch and make a PR to append to the original database. But I couldn't figure that out.

Could you elaborate what's so bad about 8GB of test data? This is a database project after all and many things need a certain amount of data to show up.

I tried downloading the data and my network connection glitched at 6gb, I was thrown an error and the processed exited. I believe I was recommended to restart the entire process again as there was no way continue the process where I left out. I didn’t try again.

I think there could be a better design to clone/download the database on local machine. I understand people don't actually download databases to their local machine but I expected a better solution.
