I was wondering if there were any open source (free also works) writing software that includes version control (e.g. git). I'm thinking of writing my own but I don't want to create something that already exists. Everything I look for is either paid or is restricted to one or two OSs.

Also I'm planning to write this for the browser i.e. HTML, JavaScript with PHP as the backend.

NOTE:

This is not about _is there version control_. I want to create an interactive software where you can create a JSON file full of character names and you can just write a generic name in e.g. `${characters.protagonist.firstname} ${characters.protagonist.lastname}` and it'll fill it in e.g. `Harry Potter`.

Also when you do that, their names will lighten up allowing you to redirect or shows a pop up with the character details.
