Why GitHub for non-coders?

Let’s face it: we’re living in an age of digital data. In fact we’re positively drowning in it. But some of the older tools we use to manage and collaborate are stuck in an era which is rapidly fading from view.

It is true that today Github is used primarily by software developers. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

In the past we might share a single word document by renaming files edit-1.txt edit-2.txt , final-version-1 etc, but then the filename would have to be very descriptive and we could easily forget or lose track of what changes are contained in each file version.

And what if multiple people are making changes to a collection of multiple files at the same time? The old way of doing things will break down and quickly turn into a nightmare.

This is where the power of Github comes into its own.
