Anyone use Git for writing projects?
I'm in the early stages of a writing project and it just occurred to me to start using Git. Does anyone else do this? Seems like it would be a good way to track my progress. Are there any Git-for-writing tools out there?

- yourmatenate 4y agoI sync Obsidian with Git and use pandoc for book / ebook generation (or Foam with Visual Code might work too). Scrivener can synchronise with Git too - albeit indirectly (it sync's with a folder & I use a simple script to keep it up to date) If you need to organise research you can sync Wiki.js with Git. However, Gitbook or mdBook might be easier to use for a single book project. https://www.gitbook.com/ https://www.gitbook.com/ https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ https://js.wiki/ https://js.wiki/ https://obsidian.md/ https://obsidian.md/
