Core Concepts
The git-shaped mental model behind Busabase: bases, fields, records, commits, change requests, and variants.
Busabase borrows its mental model from git. A base defines a content type, a record is the current (merged) row, every edit is an immutable commit, and a change request is an in-flight branch that becomes a record once merged — right away when the writer has write access, after review when it doesn't. This page maps each concept end to end.
A record's lineage panel — the commit that became current, and the change request behind it.
