PasteDB now has Version Control — Keep up to 10 versions of your pastes

Version Control is now available in PasteDB 🚀

I’ve added a Version Control feature to PasteDB that makes it easier to keep track of changes made to a paste.

Instead of losing the previous content whenever you update a paste, PasteDB can now keep previous versions so you can look back at how your paste changed over time.

How it works

• Each saved change can create a new version.
• PasteDB stores up to 10 versions for a paste.
• Versions are kept in chronological order.
• When you try to save an 11th version, the oldest version is automatically deleted.
• This keeps the version history limited to the latest 10 versions.

For example:

Version 1
Version 2
Version 3
...
Version 10

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After creating Version 11:

Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
...
Version 11

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So the history always contains the 10 most recent versions.

Why I added it

Sometimes you make a change to a paste and later realize that an earlier version was better.

Version Control gives you a way to keep those previous states without having to manually save copies of the paste.

I’m also working on more features around PasteDB’s editing and collaboration capabilities, so version history is becoming an important part of the project.

What do you think would be useful to add next to version control?
