Ask HN: How do you collaborate on manuscripts?
I’ve experienced:
- emailing MS Turd documents back and forth
- Dropbox storage of MS Turd docs, everyone takes a turn editing using Track Changes
- Google Docs, simultaneous editing
- LaTeX, emailing .tex files back and forth
There has to be a better way!
Has anyone tried using GitHub and pull requests and/or issues, to collaborate on documents?
Are there other methods I should consider?
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoPut .tex documents in any of the myriad web applications for git-based version control and add a simple bash script for rendering the final document. Use branches and revisions / diffs / pull requests to review changes. Nothing should be emailed for this.
