> What's the difference? Why not version control it,

Because I'm hardcoding directory paths.

Because I'm assuming things are set up a particular way: the way they are on my machine.

Because this is hardcoded to a particular workflow that I'm using here and now, and that's it.

Because I do not want to be responsible for it after no longer needing it.

Because I don't want to justify it.

Because I'm hard-coding things that shouldn't be checked in.

Because I don't want to be responsible for establishing the way we do things based on this script.
