Seems like a technology that would be good to know about

dolt is a git-like mySQL database. Allows branching, commits, merging, etc that are changes to data or schema. Dolthub is a github-like platform for dolt with a kinda nice GUI for editing data interactively. doltr is an R package that wraps the dolt API that makes it easy to work with in R.

Applications for us might include:

• Databases that get updated by multiple researchers, but need to link to a static version for a publication
• Automating updating a database (e.g. use a github action to create a dolt merge request) with versioning
