This article is a pretty garbage.
> There is no need to use Git source code management if you don't need it. Git's a complicated tool, which is why Linus Torvalds gave it the name: it's British English for a hostile or uncooperative person. 7-Zip has a single author, Igor Pavlov, and if he doesn't want to use Git, The Reg FOSS desk doesn't blame him.
Who cares if a media desk doesn't know how to use Git. How is that even relevant to the story.
Nobody has said that he should use git, but it is a good idea to use some kind of version control so that changes to the code can be easily tracked, based on change. Places like Github, Gitlab provide plenty of documents.
Using version control also encourages others to contribute. 7-Zip in itself is very old C++ code that I doubt anyone has really looked at too closely in a long time.
Further it often gets recommended as an "encryption tool" when there are better modern alternatives such as Picocrypt https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt or Kryptor https://www.kryptor.co.uk.
They later mention that bullshit node-ipc pulled, yet they don't see how version control provides accountability.
Amusing.
