Git is great for programmers
I remember the days of VSS. A great tool for a solo programmer, but it wasn't very scalable for a large team. I am not sure I even ever used it in a team. It was a great tool for me at the time, and it did help me a few times to go back to code that did work before. Thankfully, Linus Torvalds created Git in 2005. Then GitHub, GitLab, and Microsoft bought it all in 2018. (source)
It is hard to even get some jobs without a GitHub account. That is a bit unreasonable, since 99% of my GitHub projects are private. Private projects don't even show as green dots on your profile. I don't feel that is a fair assessment of your programming skills. I digress.
