I use a git repository with text files and Terminal IDE to git on android.

  Have you used evernote? My use cases involve saving pictures and documents to it (and having them be searchable), as well as being able to share specific things with specific people. Additionally, having everything available on my phone is extremely useful. A simple git repo doesn't suffice for that.

    I use text for documents and grep/find to search them. I do have them on my phone, Terminal IDE is a full git/grep/yada suite for android. Sharing with other geeks is easy, share a repository with them. Sharing with non geeks is a different story, of course, that is not covered by this approach.

      > I use text for documents and grep/find to search them. That's wonderful, now what about a picture of a business card or flier I took quickly? What about PDFs I've been sent or have found online? Not everything is generated in a text editor, and as much as I love text and default to it as much as possible, it's not always possible. This is maybe my 3rd biggest usecase. > Sharing with non geeks is a different story, of course, that is not covered by this approach. Which may be my second largest use case for evernote. I would not call a method that cannot perform more than 2/3rds of the main functions I use daily a replacement, let a lone an adequate one.
