Sharing your code

Someone recently asked me, “What’s a good way I can share my code?”

There are several ways you can go, of course. Here are the first two that popped into my mind.

A full web site

Squarespace isn’t a bad option. The designs are good. The option called Flatiron is what’s used for this site:
http://open-ephys.org

Another option is Google Sites. The designs aren’t as slick as Squarespace, but it might take less time to get the info up in some form. Here’s an example:
https://sites.google.com/site/tarotoolsmember/

A specialized, code-sharing site

Github. You can put the docs and code up. Version control, and collaborative code development is handled (as opposed to the above two options). E.g., here’s Josh Vogelstein’s code site:
https://github.com/jovo/fast-oopsi
