According to the speaker, Basis uses Git to track both specifications describing intended outcomes and a canonical code state that captures implicit knowledge or intent that must be codified.

“Have you, have you seen the, um, the post from Basis? Like they have a, they had a tweet, tweet little thing, a tweet article. I thought they did a great job talking about, um, like different sort of file artifacts.”

“They, they, uh, they track via Git, and some of them are like the specs, the intent of what is to be, and the other is like what they call like the canonical state of the code, which is like a little bit more maybe what you're describing, which is implicit knowledge, implicit intent that also has to be codified somewhere, right?”
