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. (

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.
