For simple group exercises and labs in Matlab, it probably won’t really be complicated/big enough to need it, frankly. You might get a few starter files and have to tweak some pieces. Unless your project is more than like a few weeks long just do it together in study sessions and pair program if you can. When you write your own work, solo labs, thesis, dissertation etc, then absolutely use vcs, obviously. I did mechanical engineering in undergrad and the labs were fairly self contained and didn’t really need much revision. If anything I would prioritise writing tests to help document and check others code, over worrying about vcs. TDD in Matlab would be quite a thing.
