Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of intercepting a command from a user to modify a source tree in a source control system, creating a child ledger associated with a master ledger when the intercepted command is destructive, seeking consensus among users of the source tree to approve execution of the intercepted command, merging the child ledger into the master ledger with a transaction describing the intercepted command, a commit tree history, and status of the consensus, and a tree hash, and merging execution results of the intercepted command into a history of the source tree.
