<i>Plenty of projects, even greenfield ones, aren&#x27;t checked into source control.</i><p>I really and truly did not know this still happens. Hell, even on throwaway&#x2F;PoC stuff for which I am the sole developer, and code that stands a good chance of never seeing the light of day, I start with <i>git init</i>. &#x27;cuz the probability that I&#x27;m going to wish later that it was in source control outweighs the very minor cost of putting it in there. For an organization that produces software that others will later use, I&#x27;m at a loss to explain it other than inertia.
