Contracts for a branchable history graph over snapshot references. Not version control: no merge, rebase, remotes, or conflict resolution.

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Timeline.Abstractions

Quick start

using Novolis.Snapshots;
using Novolis.Timeline;

ITimeline<ZipSnapshotRef> timeline = /* InMemoryTimeline or FileSystemTimeline */;

var node = await timeline.AddAsync(
    snapshotRef,
    new TimelineMetadata("Before export", TimelineKinds.SavePoint, new Dictionary<string, string>()));

var branch = await timeline.BranchAsync(new BranchName("experiment"), node.Id);
await timeline.MoveHeadAsync(branch.Id, node.Id);

API

Branch / BranchName Named alternate path
BranchId Branch identifier (BranchId.Main for default)
TimelineNodeId Node identifier
TimelineHead Current head node per branch
TimelineMetadata Label, kind, properties
TimelineKinds SavePoint, RestorePoint, Safety, Autosave
