The German parliament has adopted a Git-like tracking system to visualize its voting processes through a contribution graph, emulating how contributions are tracked in software development. There is an existing repository on GitHub (https://github.com/bundestag/gesetze) where some laws are documented in markdown format, utilizing pull requests to update proposed changes. This initiative offers transparency in legislative changes, allowing for easy attributions of edits to specific periods and officials, although it is currently unmaintained. Users express the need for more government data projects that employ modern data handling practices, as many existing public records remain inaccessible or poorly presented. The introduction of features similar to version control systems (VCS) for governmental data is deemed beneficial, but awareness of such initiatives is low due to outdated technology.
