>I think git popularized versioning systems in the first place as many developers just didn't use them at all. I think you didn't know many developers before ~2005[0], maybe? Or perhaps [almost] no professional devs before about then? I was personally introduced to formal version control in 2004 (as the org I interned with went from CVS[1] to SVN[2]), but pretty much every developer I know was using it way before then Heck! Forms of version control date back ~60 years at this point[3] ---------------- [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control
