git-ged

  • Status: experimental
  • Author: John Sumsion
  • Inspiration: Git, Tim Shadel

GEDCOM plugin for Git. As a git subcommand, git-ged lets you import and manage GEDCOM files in a versioned, shareable way in a Git repository.

It is also possible to attach to other repositories and fetch related genealogy data from others who have imported it into their own repository.

As a library, git-ged lets you write programs that communicate genealogical data in the git-ged repository layout.

As a repository implementation, git-ged also defines a repository specification that, if adhered to by alternate implementations will allow all implementations to share repositories with each other.

Options for data format that I can see:

The initial goal is to be able to easily ingest GEDCOMs from the wild.

Support for versioned media importing is not included in the first pass, although with projects like git-annex a sharable media repository is potentially possible.

NOTE: Although I started git-ged and have worked on it while being employed by FamilySearch, this project is not endorsed and is not supported in any way by FamilySearch. I work on it outside of work hours, and do not use internal FamilySearch servers or data privileges. It is a personal endeavor to enrich the genealogy data sharing ecosystem.

Contributing

If you'd like to hack on git-ged, follow these instructions. To get all of the dependencies, install the gem first.

  1. Fork the project to your own account
  2. Clone down your fork
  3. Create a thoughtfully named topic branch to contain your change
  4. Hack away
  5. Add tests and make sure everything still passes by running rake
  6. If you are adding new functionality, document it in README.md
  7. Do not change the version number, I will do that on my end
  8. If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors
  9. Push the branch up to GitHub
  10. Send a pull request for your branch
