I have something similar, a folder full of text files that gets automatically committed to a git repo. Each file is a note or todo list item. When I want to review or search through things I do `cat *.txt | less` or similar. When I finish an item I just delete the file and commit. That keeps it tidy while also keeping an archive of old items if I need it (in practice I rarely do).
