Hey there.
Im working on a project for some software I want in the world. But I’m such a hobbyist that I’ve never thought of publishing any of my projects, but after doing so much work in it I kind of want other to have access to it after I feel its ready.
Whats the process of distribution? I guess I typically use github when interacting with FOSS community, but its still confusing for me to navigate as an end user sometimes, let alone being an uploader.
FWIW its simply a few python modules and other supporting txt and jsons. Targeting mostly Windows because that’s what I use.
Thanks! (If this isn’t the right place to ask please let me know!)
Edit: there are a bunch of great comments here! To clarify, I want to get it functional and somewhat bug free then fully upload everything so someone can see my idea and do it better. So I think I’m going to go with unlicense, because I don’t really care about getting credit or getting contributions necessarily. Thanks all!
Just slap a LICENSE file at the root of your repo with your license of choice. Boom, its open source.

Maybe Codeberg or Gitlab would be better than Github.
