  • tortoisegit

    Windows Explorer Extension to Operate Git; Mirror of official repository https://tortoisegit.org/sourcecode

    https://tortoisegit.org/ does word diffs. It works well and I have been using it for a while editing some rather large word files.

  • git-diff-img

    📷 Diff Git versioned images graphically.

    Image diffs are still a developing technology. Check out https://github.com/niedzielski/git-diff-img for an example.

  • PopRuby

    PopRuby: Clothing and Accessories for Ruby Developers. Fashion meets Ruby! Shop our fun Ruby-inspired apparel and accessories designed to celebrate the joy and diversity of the Ruby community.

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

    Tangentially related, but if you absolutely need Word documents but don't need more advanced features of Word documents, you could use pandoc to build .docx files from some plaintext file format (markdown, latex, etc...)

  • Asciidoctor

    :gem: A fast, open source text processor and publishing toolchain, written in Ruby, for converting AsciiDoc content to HTML 5, DocBook 5, and other formats.

    I looked at this for a similar problem. Pandoc is a beast. I eventually used it alongside https://asciidoctor.org which was a pretty tight tool chain for an extended markdown format to see https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoctor/latest/migrate/ms-word/#pandoc

  • book

    A textbook on informal homotopy type theory (by HoTT)

    Here's one example of a book with multiple collaborators: https://github.com/HoTT/book (Credit to Colt Steele, who mentions it in his The Git & GitHub Bootcamp course on Udemy).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
