needs more jpeg.

but on a serious note, how do you version control an msoffice/libreoffice document? you can't just put it in git, the repo will get huge quickly

docx is just a zip of xml files. if you add some hooks to git, you could make it unzip it, commit the xml files, then when checking out rezip it into a docx automatically.

git hooks! Totally forgot it, that sounds interesting

Thanks, I hate it

I think libreoffice has an uncompressed format for version control if I remember correctly
