Why I didn’t put that project on GitHub

Github is neat! I love using it for most of my new things, and I like that my code is accessible from anywhere (assuming there is internet, which in a lot of situations I have been in it was not).

Anyhoo, here are the reasons Project X is not on there:

I made it just to test a feature and everything is quick and dirty
I made it at a hackathon/gamejam and everything is quick and dirty
It contains bought plugins and I do not have the rights to distribute the sources
I sell the project commercially
I am under an non-disclosure-agreement
It contains copyrighted placeholder-files
My internet-connection at home is horrendously unstable and makes using github impossible and highly irritating
My internet-connection at uni is unstable and makes using github difficult
My internet-connection at work is under suspicion after I once downloaded the 66gig Xcom2-SDK and I do not want to risk being caught
My internet-connection on the train where I worked was non-existant
I didn’t have an internet-connection in the country I was visiting
The cat played with the router making internet unstable
It contains gigabytes of music and video files, which makes uploading unfeasible
I may have the rights to use art in my project, but may not re-distribute it
A tool I am using is still on the education-license and I do not want proof of that online in the file-signatures
I couldn’t decide on a repo-name and after a while I got impatient and just started building it (that was before I learned you can change the name afterwards)
I had no plan while building it and didn’t want the haphazard history online for all to see
It contains code and artwork by others who haven’t agreed to make the source publicly available
I fucked up the git-process several times in a row and decided my energy would be better spent on the actual project
I used TortoiseSVN instead
I used a Unity asset-server instead
It was made before Github existed
It was made before I knew Github was a thing
It was made before I knew how to use github
It was made before I became confortable with using Unity with Github
The idea didn’t really work out
Real-life-issues took precedence and the project is incomplete
I did not know about that programming pattern you are checking for at the time I made it
I made it before I knew the simple way to solve a problem and now I am embarassed by it
I do not have time to upload an 8-year-old project
I do not want someone else berate me for imperfect code in an 8-year-old project
