# A critical approach to tools
First off, I want to make absolutely clear that there no shame in using GitHub. I use it, you probably do too. Maybe it's required for you to get paid. Maybe it's used by an open project or community you contribute to.

### Git is distributed by design
### It's good to have backup options
