Exactly. Graduates of a computer science program don't know specific commands around versioning software that they can learn in 10 minutes on the job. Gasp. Algorithms, mathematics and logic are timeless, tooling is not, and it baffles me that people can't distinguish between the two. EDIT: Furthermore, where did they pull this statistic from? I didn't realize that the census also included questions around git knowledge.

But if they aren’t teaching Git, are they at least teaching about source control in general? What it does, how it works, how it should and shouldn’t be used. That would be pretty useful.

How can you graduate from a CS program without having had to learn git somewhere along the way? Do you never collaborate on any project? Do you never check out a repo or make changes to it?

  Believe it or not, it is possible to collaborate on a CS project without automated source control! It's very painful though.
