Dead Project, Useful Code

So over the years, I’m sure the lot of us have worked on projects that may have ended up not particularly successful and abandoned but you find that you have written quite a bulk of useful code that may have solved a unique (or general ) problem at some point.

What are the ways one can get these code/implementations out there. I don’t think every project will work with making the repo available on github (maybe?)

make the repo n with permission list usage of code n if its paid or open source. thanks

WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?

…because if I want to open (source) my code to the world I would…on Github.

Yes. Every project will work with making the codebase available on github.

Lol @efemoney. What i mean is that people may not be interested in the project as a whole, but parts of it, some implementations i suppose… I already considered github but i figured there may be more to it to make sharing it as effective as possible

But making part of the code a standalone to the extent that people can re-use it is something entirely.

There is always going to be a better and well maintained alternative. Why would I want to use part of your codes that have no sign of “going concern”?

have you heard of https://gist.github.com/ ?
