Questions
Is SHA-1 still considered secure?
No. A practical collision was demonstrated in 2017 (SHAttered) and the cost has fallen sharply since. Certificate authorities and browsers stopped accepting SHA-1 signatures years ago. Use SHA-256 or better for anything where collision resistance matters.
Why does Git still use SHA-1?
For historical reasons and because Git uses hashes as content addresses rather than as a security boundary. Git has added collision detection and a migration path to SHA-256, but existing repositories continue to use SHA-1 object names.
