Each notebook is a standalone git repository, giving every note automatic version history without any additional tooling. The UI is fully themeable, and sync, versioning, and organization are all handled natively through git rather than bolted-on proprietary systems. ## Content shiki is a three-pane, Yazi-inspired note-taking app that never leaves the terminal. Every notebook is its own git repository, every note has real version history for free, and every pixel of the UI — including this page — is themeable. Most note apps bolt sync, versioning, and organization on top as separate systems you have to trust. shiki builds all three on top of something you already trust: git.
