Create a Change

Creating a change on a TuringDB graph is similar to creating a new branch on a git repository. It gives you access to an isolated writable environment that has no impact on other users.

Cypher

// Create a new change on the graph
change new

// Checkout into the change
checkout change-<ID>  // e.g. checkout change-0

Each time you execute change new, a new change is created using the next integer available. This means if 3 changes have already been created (with IDs 0, 1 and 2), the next change will have the ID 3. To checkout in this change, execute checkout change-3.

Python SDK

# Create a new change on the graph
change = client.new_change()

# Checkout into the change
client.checkout(change=change)

Each time you execute client.new_change(), a new change is created using the next integer available. This means if 3 changes have already been created (with IDs 0, 1 and 2), the next change will have the ID 3. To checkout in this change, execute client.checkout(change=3).
