# ThrillWiki Version Control System
# Version Control Feature
## Overview
The ThrillWiki Version Control System (VCS) provides comprehensive version tracking, branching, and merging capabilities for all content in the system. It builds upon django-simple-history while adding powerful versioning features.
## Strategic Overview
## Features
- Full version history tracking
- Branch-based development
- Version tagging
- Merge operations with conflict resolution
- Real-time collaborative editing
- Automatic change tracking
### Purpose
The version control system provides comprehensive content versioning, branching, and merging capabilities across ThrillWiki's models, enabling parallel content development and safe experimentation.
## Model Integration
### Key Decisions
### Making Models Version-Controlled
To add version control to any model, inherit from `HistoricalModel`:
#### 1. Infrastructure Integration
- **Decision**: Leverage existing Django database and Redis infrastructure
- **Rationale**:
- Reduces operational complexity
- Maintains consistent data storage patterns
- Utilizes existing backup and monitoring systems
- **Impact**: Simplified deployment and maintenance
#### 2. Architecture Pattern
- **Decision**: Implement as a Django app (history_tracking)
- **Rationale**:
- Follows Django's modular architecture
- Enables easy integration with other apps
- Maintains consistent development patterns
- **Impact**: Clean separation of concerns and reusability
#### 3. Performance Strategy
- **Decision**: Built-in batch processing and caching
- **Rationale**:
- Handles large-scale content changes efficiently
- Optimizes frequently accessed version history
- Reduces database load
- **Impact**: Scales well with growing content and user base
### Technical Integration
#### Database Layer
- Uses existing PostgreSQL database
- Creates dedicated version control tables
- Integrates with Django's ORM
- Maintains data consistency through transactions
#### Caching Layer
- Uses existing Redis infrastructure
- Dedicated cache prefixes (vc_*)
- Configurable cache durations
- Automatic cache invalidation
#### Application Layer
- Modular Django app design
- HTMX integration for UI updates
- AlpineJS for client-side interactions
- Tailwind CSS for styling
## Implementation Details
### Core Components
1. Models
- HistoricalModel (base class)
- VersionBranch (branch management)
- ChangeSet (atomic changes)
- CommentThread (review system)
2. Features
- Branch management
- Change tracking
- Merge operations
- Review system
- Performance monitoring
3. Integration Points
- Model versioning
- Template components
- API endpoints
- Admin interface
### Usage Patterns
#### Model Integration
```python
from history_tracking.models import HistoricalModel
class YourModel(HistoricalModel):
# Your model fields here
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Meta:
# Your meta options
# Automatic version control capabilities
pass
```
This automatically provides:
- Full version history
- Change tracking
- Branch support
- Merge capabilities
### Example Integration (from parks/models.py)
#### Branch Management
```python
from history_tracking.models import HistoricalModel
class Park(HistoricalModel):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description = models.TextField()
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Changes will be automatically tracked
super().save(*args, **kwargs)
with branch_context(branch):
# Changes tracked in specific branch
model.save()
```
## Usage Guide
### Basic Version Control Operations
1. Creating a Branch
#### Batch Operations
```python
from history_tracking.managers import BranchManager
# Create a new feature branch
branch_manager = BranchManager()
feature_branch = branch_manager.create_branch(
name="feature/new-park-details",
user=request.user
)
with BatchOperation() as batch:
# Efficient handling of multiple changes
batch.process_changes(changes)
```
2. Recording Changes
```python
from history_tracking.signals import ChangesetContextManager
## Development Guidelines
# Making changes in a specific branch
with ChangesetContextManager(branch=feature_branch, user=request.user):
park = Park.objects.get(id=1)
park.description = "Updated description"
park.save() # Change is automatically tracked in the branch
```
### Best Practices
1. Use batch operations for multiple changes
2. Implement proper branch management
3. Handle merge conflicts explicitly
4. Monitor performance metrics
5. Cache frequently accessed data
3. Merging Changes
```python
# Merge feature branch back to main
success, conflicts = branch_manager.merge_branches(
source=feature_branch,
target=main_branch,
user=request.user
)
### Anti-Patterns to Avoid
1. Direct model changes outside branch context
2. Inefficient querying of version history
3. Ignoring batch operations for bulk changes
4. Manual cache management
if not success:
# Handle merge conflicts
for conflict in conflicts:
# Resolve conflicts through UI or programmatically
pass
```
## Monitoring and Maintenance
4. Working with Tags
```python
from history_tracking.models import VersionTag
### Performance Monitoring
- Operation timing metrics
- Cache hit rates
- Database query patterns
- Memory usage
- API response times
# Tag a specific version
VersionTag.objects.create(
name="v1.0.0",
branch=main_branch,
content_type=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(park),
object_id=park.id,
created_by=user
)
```
### Health Checks
- Branch integrity
- Cache consistency
- Database indexes
- Query performance
- System resources
## UI Integration
## Future Considerations
### HTMX Components
The system provides HTMX-powered components for real-time version control:
### Planned Enhancements
1. Advanced conflict resolution
2. Enhanced performance monitoring
3. Additional caching strategies
4. Improved UI components
1. Version Control Panel
```html
{% include "history_tracking/version_control_panel.html" %}
```
### Scalability Path
1. Partition strategies for large histories
2. Advanced caching patterns
3. Async operation handling
4. Archive management
2. Branch Selection
```html
<div hx-get="{% url 'history:branch-list' %}"
hx-trigger="load, branch-updated from:body">
</div>
```
## Documentation Map
3. Change History
```html
<div hx-get="{% url 'history:history-view' %}?branch={{ branch.name }}"
hx-trigger="load, branch-selected from:body">
</div>
```

'metadata': self._collect_metadata(),
'performance': self._get_metrics()
}
```
### Performance Optimization
