Best/Bad practices for code sharing?
- by sunpech
The more I explore Github, the more I like it. I really enjoy how coding is becoming more social.
I'm curious as to if there are any bad practices that programmers should avoid in sharing their code with each other. And in naming bad practices, what are the best practices for code sharing?
For example:
Is it a bad practice for a single repo to have multiple scripts/projects named 'MiscProjects'? Where this repo, as the name suggest, is a collection of miscellaneous small scripts and projects. This may resemble how a programmer organizes projects on his/her local storage, but it's possibly not optimal for code sharing?
Maybe if a good README/documentation is done, it would be better? Or as long as it's well documented, anything goes?
