Ask HN: Does a vcs exist for .odt or msoffice files?

1 pointfocom2 comments

I know, I can use latex and git, but what about the .odt and .docx files ? Is there an existing solution ?

They have built-in change tracking.

DOCX files are just ZIP files that contain XML, JPG, PNG, etc.

You might be able to unpack the ZIP, manage the content with git, then repack them.
