> Admittedly, I'm getting old, but for the first couple years I used git professionally ~2008-2011 we just pulled from each other's machines. Directly over SSH. We worked in an office, all had each other's machines as remotes. "Hey, is that feature done? Cool, I'll pull it". It worked really well.

Haha I'm jealous.

We used Airdrop.

And then I was like "shouldn't we use git?"

"Nah, this works fine, you have the code you need now, don't you?"

I was still in my second year of my information science bachelor and he was +60 years old and had programmed for over 2 decades. I was not going to argue with someone that experienced. In retrospect, I should have. But I'd probably been shot down with being "that youngster that always wants to use new technologies" (despite git not being that new anymore).

I recall a time when github was having an outage at the same time me and a coworker were trying to fix a high priority issue. I had pushed my changes before the outage but he couldn't pull them. I proposed that I share my repo locally so he could pull from me, but he looked confused and didn't get it, so I let it drop.
