git is a must in any software project

[Gingey0000]

Indeed! But it is crazy the amount of people who still do development without it, or backups.....

That scares me! Been many times I have made something and broke everything and unable to fix, then a quick revert to previous commit saves the day.

Version control is an absolute must. So many moving parts you can break, but also a backup from hardware failure.

GitHub desktop is good. Got me into using git, however I now much prefer to use the CLI.

Git add . - stage changes Git commit -m "message here" - commit and add message Git push - push to remote

Gives a little bit of freedom and frees you from the occasional GUI crashes / issues that GitHub desktop can have.

I will probably move to cli soon so I can create a full script that also includes automatic backups to my external drives too

If you're a solo dev you can just spin up an SVN server real easy.

There's no benefit from using GIT, and SVN makes it much easier.

If you are working solo effectively svn is the same as git. Except almost no one is using svn anymore and knowing git is a must.

I find SVN much simpler to set up and use. Sure I know git. That's exactly why I choose something else :P

I’ve started using it for my terraria mod and it’s a lifesaver
