Whether CS grads know this or that tech is irrelevant.

What matters is are they curious and how quickly they can self teach this or that tech.

And besides, learning the basics of git should be an afterthought for someone being hired for a programming job!! Come on.*

* Not gatekeeping here, I'm just trying to say that in the spectrum of tasks an entry-level programmer will need to get good at, git is a minor footnote. You can generally learn 99% of what you'll need to do in a short period of time, unless your team is doing exotic stuff, in which case they should stop doing that.



If you are curious and able to self teach effectively I'm impressed if you get through an entire CS undergrad without picking up the basics of git


Whether CS grads know how to use version control tells you how much actual CS they worked with while acquiring their degree.
