As you start to do more programming (both in and out of class), you should consider making them available publicly online via a site like https://github.com/ . This makes it easy for you to accept contributions to your code from other people. It also allows you to show off your projects to companies. Don’t be embarrassed if you think the code is not perfect. Your future projects will be better, and companies like to see the increase in code quality as you learn more in your classes.

Warning: Make sure to check with a Professor before posting code for a class assignment as someone may end up copying your code if the assignments aren’t changed.

PUT A LICENSE ON IT

It pretty important you put a license on a project which you want to release publically. While we are not lawyers and this does not consistute legal advice, code without a license on it, even if publically readable, is still copyright of the author. If you want people to use you code and work on it consider putting an open source license on you code.

https://choosealicense.com/ is a good resource to choose a license, but may I recommend the UIUC/NCSA License. It is the prefered license of ACM and a good premissive open source license in the vein of BSD-3 Clause.
