the project has been sitting collecting dust on git for a long time now. im thinking of making the project open source. since the project is too big to handle on my own.
however i dont have experience in managing such a thing. things like updating added working code from contributors etc.
if anyone has experience in how to set up and handle such a thing please post
DJMaesen from my limited use, its easily googlable, but in concept, you publish repo, then someone forks it, then makes a new branch or not, works on the changes, then the forker makes pull request, that request comes to you as the OG repo, you look at the changes and then decide to merge into the master branch or not.
Alternatively you can work with WIP branch on the repo then all the pull requests merge to that branch and test and when its ready for release you merge the WIP branch into the master...
It a hassle but workable.. Not sure if github and or gitlab free tiers can do large files.. if i remember there was limits on file sizes etc etc..
If you have your own git server, make sure its secure, if there will be lots of traffic, someone will surely try to break it, hack it..
