Those of you who did some kind of programming class in highschool, did they teach you about git?

I was talking to a friend the other day and we both said the one thing we wish we knew back then was git. Both us had projects go completely missing or fubar at T-10 seconds. I don't recall even knowing that version control was a thing

    Uni taught us about svn, but it wasn't really explained, more as a "do this".

    No. They did not.

    Only cvs was around when I was in high school and they didn’t teach us that no
    They just taught us basic programming skills of troubleshooting
    Pseudo code and problem solving

    Lot of old farts here, git wasn't a thing back then!

    Despite being ubiquitous these days, it's also helpful to remember version control in *general* wasn't really a widely accepted practice until SVN came along. Before then it was occasionally used, but the requirement of a server coupled with hardware being a lot slower back then meant it was often considered quite a niche thing.

    @AlmondSauce that's true. I'm on the complete opposite side, graduated highschool in 2016

    svn was the hot shit when I was at uni. So we got taught a bit of cvs and svn. But really just as much as that it exists and what it does, if I remember correctly.

    but my teacher taught me that "if it's not in the manual then it doesn't exist"
