Ask HN: Using Git for all internal company documents

Hi guys,

I came across a video called 'The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Plain Text' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgV6M1LyfNY) and found it pretty compelling.

I'd been thinking about how to manage internal company files and was considering Google Drive or Notion, but I'm now considering trying to store everything in plain text using Git.

I like that using plain text gives information a feeling of permanence.

There are some obvious drawbacks such as a learning curve for non-technical employees and plain text not being adequate for all tasks. Sometimes you need images and charts.

I was wondering whether anyone has implemented this in their startup and, if so, how you are finding it?

Thanks!
