> "We use git because everyone else does" is the definition of cargo culting
I disagree with this, and Git isn't even my favorite source control system (Mercurial is). Using the same thing everyone else does has very clear benefits: new hires will already know how to use it, most CI/CD tooling out there expects it, StackOverflow will have more posts about it, you'll be able to fork libraries from GitHub and host them locally without having to migrate source control or use two systems, etc. etc. There are lots of reasons to use the same tools as everyone else besides cargo-culting.
