I've been getting into the habit of using git to
manage my homework. Naturally Id like to put it on github so I can access it when I'm away from my computer. Could my teacher potentially see this as academic misconduct because I'm posting my code? Obviously you won't know for sure but what do you think?
Well, the best thing to do is the same as always: talk to your teacher about it! Most of them want to help you! Make it clear that you'll take it down if it's a problem, and explain to him or her why you do it. It's the safest route.<p>If he doesn't like it, consider paying for Github if you can. Then you can have private repositories, and you'll be supporting a great service!
I'm a CS lecturer. I would tell you to take it down if you asked. If I found out third person, I'd assume it was for sharing with your cheating little friends and would try to destroy you.
