I asked Fable to write me a small CRUD app recently so I could keep tabs on my todo list and edit it. It chose to write the database as YAML files stored in git. When I asked why not use a database, it defended the choice by saying it would let me edit the files by hand whenever I wanted and sync them to where ever I wanted and get reliable git merges maintaining consistency, so I didn’t have to rely on remote database operations for that.
