You forgot to mention the "click on this one specific checkbox or your source code is now leaked to the entire internet forever" part. So actually, not that simple and potentially much much worse.

Git != Github

Just using git on a local machine is nothing like this, unless there's something large I'm missing.

This is just "copying to a flash drive" with extra steps.

Git doesn't require an internet connection. With git you can keep doing backups the same way and store the git repository in flash drives, Dropbox, Amazon Glacier, or anywhere you want. The main difference here is that you don't need one folder per version anymore.

Git has no checkboxes. It is purely command line. Are you talking about Github or Gitlab? I know Gitlab used to have this bug where you could easily accidentally give everyone access to all your repos.

No fully true, there is gitk and git-gui (both part of the full-git-package)...but yeah no "publish to internet" checkbox there ;)
