Hello Aurelio!
Thank you for the article.
I usually keep my notes in OneNote and it did pretty good job in terms of organization and search capabilities.

You said that you tried writing blogs and using Evernote for note taking. Would you mind describing what is the advantage of Github note taking (except version control) that made you transition to it from other tools.
It seems like I missed something, because for me it looks like "yet another tool for note taking" and it's hard to see the advantages of this approach.

Thank you!

Hey Anton, thanks for the question.
I answered a similar one here, so i suggest checking my answer there.

All in all, i know this is "nothing extraordinary", these are just text files under version control and a search, but the simplicity of it is one of its advantages. You may want to Google "digital garden" to read a bit more and see more examples.

Let me know if this answers the question.

Aurelio, thank you for the clarification

BTW, not sure if the link you provided is a correct one since it brings me to another post about "managing application secrets" :)
