What should I put in my GitHub?

Post by Xaos »

So I have a GitHub that is empty. I'm wondering, what type of code should I put on my GitHub? I see alot of "anything you own/can share/etc" and sure, that's fine. But what of that should I share? Anything I write I don't care to keep hidden? If I write something trivial and common, say a rock-paper-scissors game, should I put that on GitHub?

Mine is not that full either, but what I put there is all my projects that are made as portfolio, say website sources, game sources, software sources, that I don't mind people having them and still can be used as Portfolio :)

Also I'm starting to think that GitHub is good for backup hosting :D

I put things which will help me in the future or projects which I might lose somehow. But for scripts which I don't want people to see but want to keep safe I use Gist.

Yeah, just throw everything up there that you don't need to keep hidden. It is a good backup, and you never know what you might make that someone will find useful!

Thanks, guys! Gonna upload alot of projects from sites like RosettaCode and Project Euler, and also stuff I do on my own. Currently I'm working on a Boxing sim engine (just the fight engine) that I'm sure someone, somewhere could find useful :D (It can also obviously be adapted to anything, so with all the indie devs I'm sure it will be popular!)

P.s. total side-note but I did a ; at the end of that line. Woops. :)
