Yes, it's definitely the former case, thankfully. Agreed that it's strange, but it's hard to put a technical reason behind it if I decide to push for hosting it somewhere better.

That probably is the case, but in my mind I'm also questioning if they're backing it up regularly, what prevents someone from going in and deleting the files, etc.

I can't exactly put my finger on it, but something feels off. For example, on my first day, I wasn't able to view the files in Windows Explorer (or clone the repo, actually), so the other dev just gave me a zip file of the repo. There's something fishy going on, and I'm trying to figure it out.

 

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?
