This reminds me of something I did in one of the previous companies where I worked.

Like anyone else, when I joined the company, I had various questions: how to access certain systems, how to handle permissions, how to debug specific services, etc.

I compiled all these questions and answers as notes in a Git repository that my teammates could access. I wrote the notes using QOwnNotes, utilizing its Git integration. So, when someone had a question for which I already had the answer, I could simply share my notes, or create/update a node and share it.

The names of the notes were straightforward and easy to follow, such as:

- aws.md

- azure.md

- kubernetes.md

- staging.md

- production.md

- useful-commands.md (jq, sed, base64, etc)

My teammates used this resource frequently. As I was preparing to leave the company, I suggested them to fork my notes repository. I later heard that they continued to use it for many months afterward.
