The more I use @overleaf the more I realise it's not just a great way to introduce newbies to LaTeX but also a good way to introduce them to version control.https://www.overleaf.com/signup?ref=77edacace520 …

The sad part is that word/LO both have version control, but noone uses it. Instead, it's name.docx; name2.docx; name11_14.docx; name_SM11_15.docx; name_JT_11_18.docx, etc. But it DOES have [shoddy] version control that noone ever uses for some reason.

Don't forget "doc_final.docx", "doc_real_final.docx", doc_real_final_final2.docx", "doc_final_revised_final.docx" ... ;)

The only problem is that version control on binary files is a big bag of "no"! So I guess plain text is the way forward if you want to use version control on your documents — another reason latex is a neat choice (or markdown, etc).

Agreed. Also, I love being rather independent of the "toolchain" I use (also taking into account the machine and OS I do my stuff on). Text files are just so sexy! Maybe we should start using ASCII art for graphics version control...

Although more generally and seriously, it's already possible with things like git annex and git lfs to version control binary files that get edited a lot.
