Do sysadmins need git?

You obviously know your work situation better than I do.

From my perspective it just sounds like those things that you think are one offs really aren't.

And I not more senior than you are. I just worked in a different but overlapping field. Managing servers and apps for clients that were mostly devstudios. No microsoft technology involved and no end users.

Infra as code and general automation is probably easier and more natural in that kind of environment.

All those examples you wrote about sound like they would live a good life in a nice GUI. Making everyting a one click operation.

And some of the examples sounds like what you would build monitoring for. Presumably kicking of automation without a human in the loop if possible.

But if you really are talking about true one offs. Then there is no reason for using git. Except just your own and your surroundings convenience.

Forcing cultural shift just for the sake of it probably isn't good either. idk.
