Perhaps "Dolt is Git for data" should really be "Dolt is Git for databases"

I loaded the page expecting to see some arbitrary binary data version control tool and was caught off guard by all the references to SQL.


That seems like an unfortunate name. "Dolt" is another word for "idiot".


They say they chose an insult as homage to Git.[1] And it reinforces the Git for data marketing.

As is git. I think it's intentional
