The disclosed embodiments provide a version control system within a social networking environment. The disclosed embodiments perform operations comprising: storing, in a database, application data that is structured as a tree graph comprising nodes in the form of branches connected by respective edges, each child branch being connected to a single corresponding parent branch by a respective edge; generating a first checkpoint identifying a node of the tree graph, the first checkpoint comprising first checkpoint state information corresponding to initial state information of the node of the tree graph; generating a second checkpoint identifying the node of the tree graph, the second checkpoint comprising second checkpoint state information corresponding to the initial state information of the node of the tree graph; merging changes made to the first and second checkpoint state information; and modifying the initial state information of the node of the tree graph based on the merged changes.

Version control in networked environments

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for detecting an activity associated with a user, wherein the activity includes a plurality of sequential phases; identifying a media template associated with the activity, wherein the media template includes a plurality of phase identifiers each associated with a respective phase of the plurality of phases of the activity; capturing a plurality of media items that represents each of the plurality of phases, each media item of the plurality of media items being captured when a corresponding one of the plurality of phases is in progress; associating the plurality of media items with respective phase identifiers of the plurality of phase identifiers of the media template based on the phase associated with each of the plurality of phase identifiers; and generating a display of the plurality of media items based on the media template that includes the plurality of phase identifiers associated with the plurality of media items.
