Unless you get lazy like me and start committing only out of shame once the modified file count reaches close to triple digits or prior to doing very sketchy changes.
There is such a concept as a brand new project not requiring version control until it hits a certain stage: you know it when you get there.
Edit: A large part of the reason now that I think about it is that I don't work off real tickets but just bugs I notice or things that get mentioned on the current solo work project. In a team I can just dissect the ticket and am forced to do only that ticket on the branch whereas solo I'm just jumping all over the place. Sometimes I'll do thing X partway, start considering options and in the meantime do thing Y so it's a mess but the tasks get done so.. For context the project is 1 year old developed from 0 by me. Essentially an internal log parsing and analysis tool for a couple formats. Nothing particularly complex.
