What is DataTig?

DataTig helps when a community of people want to crowd source a data set and they use a git repository to store the data.

In these cases, DataTig can be used on the git repository to help people contribute new data or edit existing data, check data quality and transform the data into more useful forms for everyone to re-use.

Hosted at our Hub

The DataTig features and functionality for your git repository can be hosted at our hub. Your git repository can be on GitHub or any public git host.

Go to DataTig Hub Source

Use with a static site builder like Jekyll

You can use a static site builder like Jekyll to provide a custom website to the public, and also use DataTig to help contributors and editors work on your data set.

Docs - use with Jekyll blog Docs - use with Jekyll collections Docs - use GitHub actions and pages to build Jekyll and DataTig at the same time

For example, this website is a Jekyll and DataTig website!
