There is a difference between "not using a VCS" and "using Git".

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Let me make it clear to you then.

Why use Git at all then?

For it's VCS features.

I thought the one reason why everyone wants to use Git these days are the forges.

You thought wrong. Git is not wanted exclusively for the forges, but also for it's VCS capabilities.

Which VCS capabilities make Git stand out in comparison to all other DVCSs if you don’t need a web UI?

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Personally:

I am used to git. When I don't need the webUI, I would stick with git because it is already familiar to me.

Makes sense.
