I have a few projects I'd like to share in my GitHub Account, and I've been wondering what is a good practice:

Should I push the entire repo (with all the commits history, since the very first one), or is a good idea to start commiting on public in that moment (and have only one commit the first time I share my project)?

Answer 1

It depends. If your origin commits is well written and the version is well controlled, I think it's better to upload it. On the other hand, if you just use it as a practice and the version is a total mess, you may want just keep it for yourself.
