About:
sgr is the command-line interface for Splitgraph, an open-source platform that applies version control principles to datasets. It enables developers to create, branch, merge, and query versioned PostgreSQL databases, treating data changes like code commits. This tool facilitates collaborative data management and efficient storage through advanced delta compression.

Key Features:

Version control for databases (branching, diffing, merging)
Image-based architecture for immutable data snapshots
SQL query interface with data virtualization capabilities
Docker-compatible storage layer for easy deployment
CLI for managing data lifecycle and dependencies

Use Cases:

Applying Git-like workflows to machine learning datasets
Sharing and collaborating on large datasets without duplication
Creating reproducible data pipelines and environments
Auditing historical changes in production databases

Alternatives:

DVC (Data Version Control) – DVC focuses on file-based versioning tied to Git, while sgr manages data directly within a versioned PostgreSQL engine.
Dolt – Dolt is a SQL database with Git semantics built-in; sgr acts as a version control layer on top of existing PostgreSQL instances.
