We did that all the time in Uni when writing lecture scripts in collaboration with other students. We used LaTeX though. Worked perfectly for us back then.

I worked with LaTeX a lot, but none of my collaborators used git. They just dump the files in dropbox. Still nice to use git just for yourself so you can view changes easily.

Yeah, I guess studying CS helped there. I had some lectures in mechanical engineering on the side, those students were firmly rooted in Office 365. Explains a lot later in life, looking back.
