So I discovered recently that if you set up git-auto-commit mode with an org directory tree, then configure it to auto-push to gitlab on add/change, I get nicely formatted documents for free. Later on I can convert them via pandoc to docx or markdown so they can end up in sharepoint/confluence and I only minimally have to touch either of those horror shows. I was writing some docs yesterday, and my colleague who's always bagging me about my use of nothing but emacs and terminals complimented how nice it looked rendered in gitlab.

Could you share specifics on how to set this up? I’m interested in having a “local” personal knowledge base (currently using Obsidian—>Hugo site —> GitHub —>AWS Amplify / Netlify) Your setup sounds extremely useful. I haven’t tried Emacs / org-mode / org-roam, but the more I read about it, the more curious I am getting. If you have advice, I’d love to hear it.

  I had to look it up but this lives in `.dir_locals.el` in the root of the git repo. Including the comments of what to put in .emacs I think that's everything needed: ( ( nil . ((eval git-auto-commit-mode 1)) ) ) ;; and chuck this in your .emacs ; (setq-default gac-ask-for-summary-p t) ; (setq-default gac-automatically-push-p t)
