How We Manage Code & Collaboration with GitHub

Overview

What GitHub Is

GitHub is a web-based platform for hosting Git repositories, collaborating on code, and automating development workflows. It’s used by solo devs, open-source projects, and large companies worldwide.

For us, GitHub is home base for our apps, games, and scripts — keeping changes organized and recoverable.

Why We Use GitHub

• Version control: Track every change and revert if something breaks.
• Collaboration: Branches, pull requests, and code reviews.
• Automation: GitHub Actions for tests, builds, and deployments.

GitHub keeps our projects safe, structured, and ready to scale — whether we’re shipping a small tool or a full production app.

Pro Tips for Using GitHub Effectively

• Use branches like feature/, bugfix/, and release/ to stay organized.
• Protect your main or master branch with required reviews and checks.
• Set up GitHub Actions to run tests or build Flutter/Unity projects on every push.
• Link issues and tasks from Notion or Google Sheets to GitHub issues for better tracking.

Once your workflow is set up, GitHub becomes the backbone of your development — stable, traceable, and collaborative.
