This short talk demonstrates a proof-of-concept, alpha-quality project designed to introduce versioned, branched editing capabilities to the PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and QGIS technology stack. It establishes a workflow directly analogous to standard version control software used in software development. The process begins by designating a feature layer as the trunk or main layer. While operating on their branch, users perform updates, inserts, and deletions. Concurrently, other team members may modify the trunk or their own independent branches. Once editing concludes, the user reconciles their branch against the trunk to identify and resolve conflicting edits. Finally, the approved branch edits are merged into the trunk, establishing a new authoritative version. If you are interested in FOSS GIS software, have a skill and the desire to contribute, please attend for more information.
