# GEO-INFER-GIT

## Instructions

### Core Capabilities

- **Spatial data versioning**: Track changes to GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoParquet
- **Lineage tracking**: Dataset provenance, transformation history, audit trail
- **Collaboration**: Merge strategies for spatial data conflicts (geometry-aware diff)
- **Reproducibility**: Version-controlled analysis pipelines with spatial checksums
- **Branch strategies**: Feature-branch workflows for spatial analyses

### Key Imports

```python
from geo_infer_git.core.versioning import SpatialVersionControl
from geo_infer_git.core.lineage import DataLineageTracker
from geo_infer_git.core.collaboration import SpatialMergeEngine
from geo_infer_git.core.checksum import SpatialChecksumCalculator
```

## Examples

```python
from geo_infer_git.core.versioning import SpatialVersionControl

vcs = SpatialVersionControl(repo_path="./spatial_data")
vcs.track("boundaries.geojson")
vcs.commit("Updated county boundaries from 2026 census")
diff = vcs.diff("HEAD~1", "HEAD", file="boundaries.geojson")
print(f"Changed features: {diff.added + diff.modified + diff.deleted}")
```

## Guidelines


### Integrations

- Integrates with DATA for format-aware versioning
- Test: `uv run python -m pytest GEO-INFER-GIT/tests/ -v`
