Perception of Git outside of softdev

[brucehoult]

I'm predominately a software dev by profession, so git seems natural to use for me. So I ended using git for a whole heap of things. For example, I collect recipes for cooking and use git to track revisions, edits, etc. I've also been using git and git LFS for graphics design projects. Also use it for my web site, scripting experiments, schematics, and so forth. Super useful.

This seems like what immutability on the block chain was for.

Immutability and traceability come from the use of Merkle trees, which is the technology both git and the Bitcoin blockchain are based on, in different ways.
