Welcome to the Kart documentation. Kart provides distributed version-control for geospatial and tabular data.

Why Kart

• Built on Git, works like Git – uses standard Git repositories and Git-like CLI commands. If you know Git, you’ll feel right at home with Kart.
• Your choice of format – supports Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MySQL and GeoPackage, with more coming soon.
• Synchronize data - accurately synchronize datasets between systems in seconds. Kart moves and applies a minimal compressed set of changes.
• Interact directly from within QGIS with the (Kart plugin](https://github.com/koordinates/kart-qgis-plugin).
• And much more...

Project Status
