I don't open source my code bc I don't understand git

So, you don't "git it"?

I'll escort myself out.

Git push yourself out* to make the obvious joke

In internet terms: It's just a soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another {insert N-3 of the same soyjaks} soyjak with a box with data without an arm to point with

It's perfectly fine to just make a zip available

There's a guy out there who made a reversible NES emulator, meaning it can run games backwards and come to the correct state. He made a brilliant post on Reddit /r/programming linking his ideas for the emulator to quantum mechanics.

Then he was asked why he didn't distribute his program in git. He said that he didn't know git.

To me, that's a pretty good example of the difference between computer science and software engineering.

You can open source your code just by uploading it on some kind of cloud storage and setting it as publicly available.
