phylesystem
This is the top-level repository in the Open Tree of Life phylogenetic study document store. The data are actually stored in different repositories referred to as ``shards'' in much of our documentation/email discussions.
Phylesystem serves as a crude database storage for the web services implemented using the code base phylesystem-api. This layer is the API for accessing the NexSON data store.
Currently we do not support pull requests to the shards. The server running the NexSON services API is the only writer. We hope to add functionality to smoothly deal with pull requests soon.
Usage
Most users will only want/need to run the
$ bash pull-studies.bash
script to fetch and pull the latest NexSON for all of the shards
History
The repository formerly known as phylesystem was moved to: https://github.com/mtholder/old-phylesystem before the current architecture was decided. That repository has a set of files that agree with the intial commit to the phylesystem-1 repo; and it had scripts for updating from phylografter
