Why? I recently wrote a paper on GitHub. I loved it.
- contravariant 9y agoI mean sure use whatever you like, but I'm just not sure how much use it would be for people interested in reading your paper.
- dsacco 9y agoOh I follow. No, I meant I like using git for version control.

When you have a paper deadline in two weeks and four authors are furiously hacking in edits left and right, Git is absolutely invaluable when writing a paper. I can't fathom how people handled merges of written text without a version control system.
