Dwarf Fortress uses version control now
Dwarf Fortress developer Tarn Adams now uses version control after publicly avoiding it for years.
Simon Willison notes that Tarn Adams, creator of Dwarf Fortress, said in 2013 and 2016 that he did not use version control. Willison reports that practice has ended and the game's codebase now uses version control. The post describes no security or AI impact.
From the original article
I remember hearing a while ago that Dwarf Fortress didn't use version control. That fact has been lodged in my head, because given its inherent complexity I have trouble imagining a codebase that would benefit from version control more . That's art.
