GitHub is for engineers.
LixRay is for the rest of your company.

Non-developers struggle with GitHub

Companies set up GitHub repos for good reason: one source of truth, real review, agents that ship. But GitHub is built for software engineers. Everyone else hits three walls.

Branching, commits and pull requests are too complicated

Clone, branch, stage, commit, open a PR, resolve conflicts. That workflow is built for engineers shipping code. Everyone else just needs to make a change and move on.

Large files are a problem

Git chokes on big binaries. The launch video, the board deck, design files: everything needs LFS, a bolt-on with size limits, extra setup, and its own bills.

all-or-nothing

No permissions

Access is per-repo, all or nothing. No view-only, no finance-only folder, no approvals. Anyone who is in can change anything.

What LixRay does instead

Suggestions instead of pull requests

Understandable by non-developers

Suggest a change, the owner accepts or rejects it. Checkpoints instead of commits. No branching to learn.

Beyond text files

Every file format is first-class

One history for the 2.1 GB launch video, the board PDF, the pipeline CSV, and the launch plan. Prose diffs as prose, spreadsheets diff row by row, large assets keep every version. No size limits, no LFS setup.

Real-time collaboration

Non-developers want a simple mental model: make a change, it lands in one linear history. Branching and async review are supported for workflows that need them.

Permissions

Soon

Who can see, who can edit, who approves. Git hosts control who can push, not who can see. There's no “finance can read this folder, sales can't.”

What goes in the company repo

Everything a 5–20 person startup runs on that isn't source code.

skills/

Skills

The SKILL.md files and prompts your agents run on. Diff each revision; roll back the edit that broke behavior.

gtm/

Go-to-market

Launch plans, messaging, positioning docs, the pricing one-pager. Agents keep them consistent with each other.

sales/

Sales

The pipeline CSV, call notes, proposals. An agent updates the pipeline after every call. You review the diff.

ops/

Operations

Runbooks, vendor lists, onboarding checklists. The files that answer "how do we do this here."

finance/

Finance

The budget, the model, board decks. Every version kept; every change attributed.

kb/

Knowledge base

Policies, FAQs, product facts. The answers your team and agents rely on, kept current and trustworthy.

What does not go in

Your source code stays in GitHub. LixRay is for the repos that are not source code.
