how do i open source half baked repos

just put an experimental big ass warning everywhere?

what's your default license>

MIT? Apache 2?

why

you could put all of them in one big “bleu-scratch” repo and just throw them up there with a big “don’t use this to run stuff only use it to learn from it” disclaimer

yea its just its all WIP so its hard to publish in this state tbh,

but at the same time its experimental stuff (macos betas etc) so maybe some devs find it useful, even if the app / code / lib itself isnt? idk

just OSS it then have copilot or something make READMEs and explain the status and what’s remaining and etc. if you want people to actually use your code the best is MIT

No; he means let scrapers absorb it into ai

right 

i just have like 50 local repos that are a mess

gh requires order

Put it up on GitHub to be absorbed by the monolith

Yeah, MIT stuff is patentable if you're into that sort of thing. Also neither MIT nor Apache 2 has the reciprocity of GPL, which makes it easier to pull chunks into other projects, which I'm a fan of.

All good though. As long as you wrote the code, it can be relicensed or dual licenced if there's some conflict later.

ohh right so that's why apache 2 beats mit right

licensing is kinda like another skill to learn

Just dump on GitHub, Apache 2 is nice. I like it because I guess it means weird employers can't try to patent any of it. I got into the habit back when I was at Intel and just stuck with it.
