Jacquard lab notebook: Version control and provenance for empirical research

Version control and provenance for empirical research

Jacquard builds on years of work at Ink & Switch, including most recently Patchwork: a browser-based local-first collaboration environment with powerful version control utilities like branching and history views. Burrito, by Philip Guo and Margo Seltzer, tracks research programming activites on a Linux machine, including showing provenance relationships between inputs and outputs. But we’re building in a collaborative local-first editor built on Automerge rather than a desktop Unix environment, which opens up new technical opportunities to reimagine features like versioning and provenance.
