I meet people often but generally lose track i generally save their number with a tag, tried notion templates but it was hard to stay consistent with updating it always. Is there an easy way to do that? Curious to learn

I keep them in an INI file, edit it with vim, and query it with Python. It goes in a "general" git repo along with dot files and projects too small for their own repos. Each machine gets a branch named after the hostname and I just merge between them (and occasionally into master) as I move between machines.
