One of the greatest inefficiencies in GIS? Version control for data. Software developers have enjoyed Git for nearly 2 decades. But too many GIS professionals are still inventing complex & fragile processes to manage their updates. This has meant fewer data updates upstream, and stale project data downstream — with all the risks and inefficiencies that entails. Till now, that is. One of the most exciting problems we’ve solved at Koordinates is distributed version control. Building on Git, we launched @KartForData , an open-source project that is directly integrated into Koordinates. This means that keeping your project data up-to-date has never been easier. Simply download the Koordinates Desktop App and clone (rather than download) your own version of a dataset in Koordinates Cloud. When there’s an update to the authoritative dataset, you’ll get notified in the app. By clicking ‘update’, you can quickly review and merge the changes into your clone repository. This means that you can say goodbye to stale project data — and ditch those fragile processes once and for all....

Thanks to everyone that took the poll. So I had the pleasure of chating with Hamish @polemic about @KartForData - an open source version control sw for #geospatial - for a @geospatialy podcast episode. It'll be a great introduction for those who aren't familiar with Kart #gischat
