  projrc3.zip I know people who still make zip/tarball copies of source trees because they don’t trust git, etc.

    Meanwhile, other people trust git so much that they treat it more as a tool for doing an incremental back-up than as a distributed VCS (git commit -a -m x && git push). I must admit I have occasionally used git as a tool for transferring files (https://xkcd.com/949/ https://xkcd.com/949/).

      I am actually doing exactly that to manage my personal KeyPass database, down to using "x" as the commit message; it works reasonably well since GitHub allows you to download files with just HTTPS.

    Eh, there is nothing particularly wrong with #!/bin/sh -e TARGET=../$(basename "$(pwd)")@$(date --utc +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ').tar.gz tar czf "$TARGET" . You can even add a fourth line to upload it somewhere automatically...
