Anyway, Y_Less pretty much sums the best solution up.

GitHub is great for open source stuff, all my gamemodes, libraries etc are open source and I have tons (really should release them)

However, I've come across some annoyances with Git involving branches and "detached head" errors. Watch out when working with branches, if you make a change to the same file on two branches at a time, you can't merge them and if you try it actually screws things up a bit (or maybe that was a bug). If you ever get into that situation, merge them manually!

Other than that, Git and GitHub are really useful for issue tracking, idea brainstorming (you can comment on individual lines) and sharing specific snippets (you can select a particular line or lines and link it)

Issues can be labeled and you can customise the labels with names/colours. I have a neat set here that I use to categorise issues:


Pull requests are handy, if a friend finds a bug and fixes it, they can write the code and submit a "Pull Request" then I can accept that code and merge it to the main branch without even needing to be at my working machine, it's all done through the web interface.


Aside from GitHub, Assembla offers public repositories with SVN as well as Git (it's handy to learn the ins and outs of both systems) or, if you have a spare machine you can install your own VCS on there.
