Q. Is this just for programmers?

No, source control is really handy way of backing up your files in your projects. And it's a great way to go back to different revisions of your files in your project. Plus you see the comments each time a file has been changed and committed back.

This is suitable for game developers, researchers, and anything that has documentation and files.
