If the scripts aren't already on UCC gitlab or github, it's probably 
fine to just create an empty git repository in the directory containing 
the scripts. Remember to run `git config core.sharedrepository group` so 
that git sets sticky bits so that other people can (should be able to) 
access it.

One day all of the local git repos scattered through UCC's directory 
structure shall become gloriously unitied on a central server, but for 
now making another one is quite alright. Some version control is better 
than none after all.

Good luck!
