No because just copy-pasting, or god forbid gEnErAtInG notes defeats the purpose of the note. Reading an existing note is secondary to having written it in the first place, because by writing it I can think about the topic and process different lines of thinking which may spawn other threads of interest or related issues.
Your example of git is one where I would particularly benefit because I could write about how git is structured or how a particular command works using the docs as reference and then find a difference between my understanding and the docs that I wouldn't have found by reading just the docs or just my notes. This isn't theoretical, it's happened to me every time I've started writing something on a topic.
"Any notes online you think are so perfectly written you’d put them into your markdown note vault without changing a thing?" is just an expression. Of course writing it ourselves would be much rewarding. I'm simply interested in finding well-written notes by others.
Super late to this, but what's your purpose for that?
Is it just to see how others are formatting? Or maybe the level of detail some people go into with their notes?
