Surely not all science. Just as well Dirac wasn't required to communicate that way the equation that fundamentally underlies the phenomenon discussed, and you couldn't put the unique facility my thesis work pioneered into git! I do highly approve of publishing software and data where possible, of course, since before Free Software needed to be coined, and it's much easier now.

If you're just publishing equations, you should have an associated notebook which executes the equations.

I don't know what you mean you can't put your thesis work into git. Is it a physical thing? Too big for git?

Equations are math. They can be used analytically with pen and paper. No need to turn them into code.
