Wow, this looks potentially amazing!

I've been look for a way to use Git for smaller, high volume document storage - think something like Google docs where every doc is a repo and every change is a commit - but also, where the vast majority of docs age out and are effectively archived and not used, but still need to be available.

This looks like it technically, I just wonder how well the pricing scales for that case of docs that might never be read again...

Git is ~ really ~ great at document storage :P

We have folks using us to back crms, design tools, and all kinds of "non-code" stuff.

Please reach out - would love to connect!

For cost we put repositories into cold storage once they are not read for a week. This helps long term costs stay pretty minimal. You can also delete repositories via the API if you’d prefer.
