DocuCommit
Admin-reviewed Claimed by vendorDocuCommit is a self-hosted documentation platform that stores every page as a plain Markdown file in your own Git repository. No database, no proprietary document format, no vendor lock-in. Writers use a desktop WYSIWYG editor; everyone else reads a rendered site served from the same repo.
What it solves
Most documentation tools hold knowledge hostage. DocuCommit uses Git and Markdown as the source of truth so teams keep full revision history, stay portable, and avoid lock-in.
Most documentation tools keep your knowledge inside a database you don't control. Switching means a lossy export, revision history usually expires after 30 days, and the "export to Markdown" button produces a dump full of platform-specific blocks that won't render anywhere else. DocuCommit removes the database entirely. Every document is a .md file with YAML frontmatter, committed to a Git repository you own. Every save is a commit, so your revision history is your Git history, permanent, diffable, and readable with or without DocuCommit installed. If you ever stop paying, your documentation is still exactly where it was: a folder of Markdown files you can open in any text editor. The product has two surfaces over one repo. The local editor is a desktop app for writers: a WYSIWYG editor that writes clean Markdown, a bundled offline draw.io editor, and Get Updates / Publish buttons that run Git pull, commit, and push without anyone touching a terminal. When two people edit the same page, a guided three-pane merge lets you build the result one change at a time, with an auto-merge for everything that doesn't actually clash. The central server is a read-only, zero-install site for the rest of the organisation. It clones the repo and renders it, and never writes back. Because the source of truth is plain Markdown, your knowledge base is already legible to LLMs and AI agents without an export step, a connector, or a scraping pipeline.
