The public GitHub repository was created in September 2023, and the README positions Doltgres as the Postgres-facing sibling of Dolt rather than a separate database lineage. The project moved through rapid early releases during 2024 and 2025, then announced beta quality in April 2025. By June 2026 the GitHub release stream was still active, with 0.56.x releases appearing frequently. ### Adoption history Adoption is still early compared with PostgreSQL itself, but the packaging story is notable: Doltgres has an official release pipeline, Docker image, Homebrew formula, and direct install script. That makes it easy for database experimenters and data-versioning users to try without building from source. ### How it is used Users run the `doltgres` server, connect with PostgreSQL-compatible clients, and use SQL-exposed version-control features for branching and merging table data. The README also documents imports from existing PostgreSQL databases with `pg_dump` and `psql`. ### Why package nerds care Doltgres is package-nerd interesting because it packages a database server whose main differentiator is not storage alone but Git-like workflows at the SQL layer. It also shows a common modern packaging pattern for infrastructure tools: GitHub releases, Docker images, install scripts, and Homebrew in parallel. ### Timeline - 2023: The public dolthub/doltgresql repository is created. - 2024: Early 0.x releases continue as Doltgres tracks more PostgreSQL behavior. - 2025: DoltHub announces Doltgres beta quality. - 2026: GitHub release metadata shows active 0.56.x releases. ### Related projects - Related projects include Dolt, PostgreSQL, DoltHub, PostgreSQL client tooling, and Docker-based database distribution workflows. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** doltgres - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [dolt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dolt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, sql, version-control. - [lazysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lazysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, postgresql, sql. - [dexter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dexter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, postgresql. - [duckdb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duckdb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, sql. - [immudb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/immudb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, sql. - [kitchen-sync](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kitchen-sync/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, postgresql. - [mariadb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mariadb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, sql. - [monetdb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/monetdb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, sql. - [mysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mysql/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
