Many software projects have their documentation in Git. That is partly to have the documentation sitting alongside the code, but I would argue it's also because Git is good for managing documentation. Other fields have similar types of documentation and content that Git could be be similarly useful for (whether it's worth learning Git just for those purposes is another question).
