From personal experience, I’ve self learned over a dozen of languages, a bunch of frameworks, databases, etc. and shipped many products and side projects as a solo hobbyist/entrepreneur and I’ve failed adopting/learning git at least a handful of times. I also have not been hampered by my lack of source code tools. I have managed by using my normal process of zipping or creating backups of the project root folder at certain points. Same as I’d do with any other task.

Anyways just pointing out that it can be complicated to some people and it’s completely unnecessary. I still can’t think of a single problem I’ve encountered over 20+ years of doing this that git would have helped me avoid. My code bases always have forward momentum and rolling back any part is unusual for me. But if I needed to, I have a backup.

Had I followed your advice, the git roadblock would have prevented me from shipping anything.
