Version control is a must-have when it comes down to code- or model- development, or the writing of large documents. Within the framework of e.g. IEA EBC Annex 60 we use both GitHub (for all public code) and BitBucket (for all private work) for all code development, while i personally always use GitHub, even for my private repositories.
The main point for using a git version control system is of course: collaboration, and it's (my opinion that) only by using it in collaboration with others in code development, that you're able to steadily tackle the learning curve of git. If you only use it for yourself and on your own code, you'll once discover and use the tip of the iceberg of what version control can offer you.
