Questions about Git should be asked in Software Development. This is a case of bringing the question to the experts.

Git is a general purpose version control system, that can be used to version any type file, not just code. However, it is very popular with programmers, and many features were designed with code in mind.

Currently, the `git` tag has:

* 45 posts on Software Development
* 5 posts on Power Users
* 3 posts on Linux

This is not unique to Codidact. Taking the more popular StackExchange as an example:

* 153k on StackOverflow
* 2.7k on Superuser
* 1k on Unix

It seems like people instinctively gravitate to asking about git in the coding section.
