One of the most fascinating ones I have found (and something I keep meaning to copy one of these days) is Buster Benson's book of beliefs. The idea of having my basic principles written down sounds like a good one, but the fact that the list is reviewed and refined over time makes it even more interesting.
Thanks this is a really interesting one. IS this something everyone should write down at least once in their life. The level of self reflection seems really useful in a world where it's sorely lacking.
I wonder if you did this and kept drilling down and asking why, would a large amount of people on the fringes of general consensus in all areas of life become more moderate.
Our research group uses it for software, hardware designs, design documents, shared development of papers in latex, photo archives, research data archives, presentation slide archives, poster archives, snapshots of software repos we rely on (especially when we don't want to deal with version changes), and as a way to collaborate with remote groups (without having to give them access to our institution network.)
Creating a release, tar+gz'ng my huge archive, splitting the entire tar.gz into 2GiB chunks, uploading all of them. Yeah. Then download all chunks when needed with a small bash script.

And I don't use it, but Jupyter notebooks are supported too.
Also they are people using it to version laws/texts in general.
And bonus: you can use it to store arbitrary data even though it's not recommended/could be against ToS.
Or perhaps a Zettelkasten.
