Maybe after every developer knows how to use git we can expect designers to learn it too. Until that point what you can expect from forcing someone to use a tool that is not central to their workflow is that they will use it as little as possible (if at all), and when it comes to source control, that's a bad thing.
If we programmers are so smart we'll make working "our" way easier, not harder.
- wrs 16y agoOn a team where Git is the source control mechanism, I do expect every developer to know how to use Git. And to a designer on that team, Git will be central to their workflow, assuming their workflow requires editing the site design. If a developer needed to edit images regularly, I would expect them to learn enough Photoshop to do it, not to go bother a designer every time because Photoshop isn't a "developer tool". For someone who can understand Photoshop layers, understanding commit, push, and pull shouldn't take too long!
