For example, if I want to collaborate on making a (non-computer related) textbook with someone, and we want to use git as a version control system. Should we use github/codeberg for this or is there a platform that’s more suitable for using git in nontechnical contexts?
Yeah, most academics I know collaborate on git. They have zero code. Just use it for datasets and such.
Another example is datasets on covid infections and deaths from John Hopkins Uni. They used github.
I’m consistently surprised by the number of my friends that use github who are not coders.
