<h2>A Different Approach to Revision and Collaboration</h2>
<p>
<strong>Git for Writers</strong> introduces the free and open source distributed
content versioning system Git specifically for digital writers. Although Git is
originally a tool for software development, it can be used to track history and
open up the writing process for any digital formats that are plain text,
including XHTML/HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, and even templating systems in PHP
(e.g., WordPress or Drupal).
</p>
<p>
But Git is more than just another tool, however. It suggests an entirely
different model of revision and version tracking than track-changes
features in word processors. Git and related services, such as GitHub, also offer
a model of collaboration that is much more expansive and scalable than wikis.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Git for Writers</strong> is structured to support writers working alone,
perhaps on different computers (e.g., a laptop and a desktop or wherever),
as well as multiple writers working together. For each writing situation,
<strong>Git for Writers</strong> offers a set of concepts, practical hands-on use
of Git and related services, and three sample scenarios for how Git can change the
