Issues where git does not help a lot

Collaborating on reports manuscripts

People use MS Word or Google Docs for collaboration (tracked changes and commenting certainly beats git diff). So it becomes difficult to collaborate (bo back and forth between doc and md). I am not talking about having a doc output, but using thet doc to make changes and put it back to md/git repo.

We can version doc files in git. But that still does not address the workflow. I haven't seen a good way so far if at least one of the collaborators is unable/unwilling to use git.

Options:

  • separate the workflows (analytics & text)
  • find a platform that is convenient enough and people start using git (ABMI might want to consider paying for RStudio Connect: it works with python and R and offers a lot of cool stuff out of the box)
