Why Facebook does not use Git – and why most other devs do • DEVCLASS - eviltoast
  • Facebook does not use Git due to scale issues with their large monorepo, instead opting for Mercurial.
  • Mercurial may be a better option for large monorepos, but Git has made improvements to support them better.
  • Despite some drawbacks, Git usage remains dominant with 93.87% share, due to familiarity, additional tools, and industry trends.

    On the other hand, onboarding is longer and wastes more time and money of the company ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
