yes! i have a collection of tweets where fiction/non-fiction writers joke about naming their versions different things. i'm like, use git?

i wrote a novella using a folder system + text editor + git. i'm trying to put that into a web app. don't know how useful it would be for other people though. and don't know if it will ever be finished because i need to write.

I wrote a CLI tool in Python for this exact use case and am currently using it to write a novel. Basically the CLI tool solves a lot of the tedious issues that come up (e.g., combining all of the text files, reordering them, etc.)

If you like writing out of a text editor (I use Atom) it's super useful.
