How gitmatter compares to git.law.
git.law and gitmatter share an idea — bringing version control to legal documents. git.law is an all-in-one app for startups and SMEs: draft from templates, collaborate, and e-sign in one place. gitmatter is an open-source backend built for legal teams — your own AI agent drives it over MCP, on your own key, with an audit trail behind every change.
