I was wondering if anyone was doing this and found my way here. Very cool. Documents like a resume or a book seem to me a logical use of gits basics like versioning, branching, and merging.

Yes, my entire “Documents” folder including all PDFs, reading, etc.., essentially all my work, is in git. I think the repo is about 4GB right now. I rent a VPS (it’s very cheap to get a big one these days) and host it there, and it allows me to synchronize stuff between e.g. home & school computers, netbook & main laptop, as well as giving the obvious versioning benefits.

I versioned my mostly non-code undergraduate thesis in darcs. Just one private repository, but it was really helpful and gave me serious peace of mind.

Hey that’s awesome, glad I’m not the only one.

Do you keep everything in a world readabale repo or is most of your stuff under darcs for your eyes only?

Hi!

Since appearing on the DVCS scene I use darcs for all my writings (latex, lyx, context, rst markup…) as well.

Sincerely,
Gour
