Ask HN: Developer/admin log software?
Often, when I perform some routine task (e.g. moving a project to a new environment or changing server settings), I want to make a record of what I did that I can find later. There are obviously tons of decent ways of doing this (a plain text file, Google Docs, DokuWiki), but is there anything that's ideal?
My dream software for this purpose would be web-based but secure, support wiki-style input with real-time preview (a la StackOverflow) and syntax highlighting, and offer lightning-fast full-text search. Allowing me to share entries on a case-by-case basis would also be a plus. Anything like this out there? What do you guys use?
- there 17y agoin bigger companies they probably have a formal change-request/management system where everything is documented and changes are approved/rejected by teammates or managers. for a smaller setup i think any wiki that supports revision control would work well.
