Ask HN: Using Git for all internal company documents

1 pointsby cwbuildsabout 1 year ago
Hi guys,<p>I came across a video called &#x27;The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Plain Text&#x27; (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=WgV6M1LyfNY) and found it pretty compelling.<p>I&#x27;d been thinking about how to manage internal company files and was considering Google Drive or Notion, but I&#x27;m now considering trying to store everything in plain text using Git.<p>I like that using plain text gives information a feeling of permanence.<p>There are some obvious drawbacks such as a learning curve for non-technical employees and plain text not being adequate for all tasks. Sometimes you need images and charts.<p>I was wondering whether anyone has implemented this in their startup and, if so, how you are finding it?<p>Thanks!

&gt; <i>and that ensuring everyone has read&#x2F;write access to everything makes it inclusive.</i><p>You don&#x27;t want everyone to have read&#x2F;write access to all company documents.
