Is Git required for a programmer??

Answer 1

Martin Taylor It sounds like you've responded to a lot of misconceptions and misinformation about git (the locally installed command line tool) and Github (the hosted online service that provides git functionality as well as additional features). 😉

Juan Perdomo It depends on whether or not the open source projects or software development teams you join are using git as the VCS of choice.

If you do end up working with git, the odds are high that you'll end up working with Github, BitBucket, or GitLab as the highly popular hosted services used for managing git repos.

While I've worked extensively with a number of different VCSs since the late 90s, the most commonly used on my enterprise consulting projects, product development teams, or small side projects over the past few years have been git and svn.

From my anecdotal observations, new projects I'm involved with, monitoring, tracking, or using have been trending strongly towards git over svn.

Answer 4

Juan Perdomo If your working with a team its very important. Because, almost all progammers use it to save their projects and commit changes. Plus it's way too easy to learn git, so why not?
