Is it OK to push my code to GitHub while it is still in early development?
- by marco-fiset
I have some projects that are in a very early development state. They are nowhere nearing completion but I do host them (as public repos) on GitHub because:
I have multiple computers and I want access to my code everywhere
I want a backup for my code
I want it to be easy if someone wants to collaborate in some way
I use GitHub Issues as a poor man's project management software
Is it OK to publish a project on GitHub even when it is very early in the development? I am a bit concerned about someone to come by and say OMG this is total BS, this code is so bad! while looking at unpolished/still in development/not tested code.
What are your practices when you start new public projects? Do you wait until you have something substantial to show or you create a bare repo directly on GitHub and start from there?
I used GitHub throughout this post but this applies to every code hosting service out there.
