Has anyone had experience using Org Mode files in a Git repo to achieve the same effect as Notion or a team wiki? Seems like it checks many of the same boxes (forgive the pun): todo lists, easy links, hierarchy, tables, Kanban (with org-kanban), formatting. I think that it would address the issues, too: ‘show me what changed’ would just be git diff, comments could live in comment blocks, todo lists and reminders are rather insanely powerful & flexible, and it’s very extensible and, of course, free software.

- wtracy 7y agoI think what's needed here is a tool that transparently uses Git (our some other VCS) in the background.
