📈 What is the quickest way to store and track data?

Do you need a quick way to track some data? Serial numbers, part numbers, test results, defect metrics, etc.?

There are many ways, but one of the quickest and most flexible is CSV files in Gitea. You are already using Git*, right?

With CSV files in Gitea, you can:

• View the data as a table
• Easily edit the data using a variety of tools (Libreoffice, Gitea web UI, etc.)
• Track and review changes
• Manage access/permissions
• Work in a distributed fashion

Additionally, it is easy to add automation to CSV files in Go or Python. While databases can be very useful for larger datasets, they are often overkill for a lot of things today, as most datasets (especially human-generated ones) now easily fit in memory. And when it comes time to use a database, it is easy to import your existing CSV data into a database.
