  "Hey can you check that file back in?"

      Or someone checks in the project file without checking in the new classes they added :facepalm:

  I remember that. I've been writing code since the 70's, and have lost count of the number of source code management systems I have been forced to learn. Early on they were over engineered, and a pain in the ass to learn. Then they'd go "out of fashion" and the next pain-in-the-ass over engineered nonsense was forced and learned. I resisted git FOR FUCKING EVER because i was so tired of relearning how to do the same fucking thing slightly different in some other convoluted over engineered system. But it looked like Git was going to be the forever winner, so I finally gave in and learned git through and through. Fuck now its dying!?

    No, Git is alive and well. Git is under active development and continual iterative improvement. Github might be on the decline, but git != github

  A uni prof of mine insisted on hosting the work group's SourceSafe repo on his laptop. You could not commit changes when he was out of the building.
