Did you open the repo? There's a subdirectory with two dozens of files, around 300Kb of text. Storing/visualizing small text changes over time as revisions is exactly what Git is excellent at, how else would you keep track of upda

Wait, am I getting it right you're talking about collecting a prospective customer's card number and CVC over the phone, and then typing it yourself in a third party system? Then it's trivial to settle: that's the big ba
