Running my life from a git repo

This article describes a personal system inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki, where the author manages their entire non-work life—projects, to-do lists, email inbox, training logs—using a single git repository of plain markdown files. The system uses Claude Code and Cowork as interfaces, with Obsidian or VS Code for direct editing, and GitHub Actions for scheduled jobs. It explains the directory structure, conventions in AGENTS.md, and how git provides sync, history, and undo. The approach emphasizes simplicity, portability, and legibility for both humans and AI models.
