Got a little PR into rclone that lets you sync Google Documents to markdown locally and back, e.g.:

rclone sync googledrive:folder . --drive-export-formats md

rclone sync . googledrive:folder --drive-import-formats md

rclone bisync googledrive:folder . --drive-import-formats md --drive-export-formats md

Hopefully it's a good way to share markdown docs for easy collaboration and then bring them back for committing to a repo.

@noamross this is great! I'll try it soon and hopefully avoid more than one headache coping and pasting things from docs to markdown!

(I keep failing to convince people to review manuscripts on github 😭 )

@paocorrales I unashamedly prefer writing and editing in Word and long ago abandoned trying to get myself or other people to use plain text/git for prose. Especially for long, structured docs. Nothing like a WYSIWYG, multi-page layout.

Maybe one day I'll try to revive github.com/noamross/redoc
