I just joined a new team (very small: four developers in total, with two of those leaving soon). The two original developers set up the git repo on a folder in a Windows network share.
Am I taking crazy pills, or is that a bad idea? Our organization does have github/gitlab/bitbucket available, so is there any good reason not to use those hosted solutions?
That doesn’t sound questionable, but somewhere between stubborn and stupid. Unless that thing is supposed to be deployed to a heavily outdated system where nothing newer than Java8 will run, that is.
