Github portfolio for Ruby on Rails or security through obscurity?
Hello!
I'm new to RoR, looking to get into the profession with this technology. Like any newbie, I want to make sure that my Github profile is not a virgin desert.
And my question is quite simple.
What can a Ruby on Rails developer's Github portfolio consist of?
I'll reformulate my question. I'm going to be writing a couple of RoR sites - a business card blog (which every first Rails noob probably wrote), a service for calculating troop damage in Heroes of Might & Magic, a couple of other small hand-stuffing features. And I have a question - is it worth uploading their code to Github, is this a good practice? Doesn't this violate the security of the site? Maybe only certain gems/modules/etc should be made public? Or is security through obscurity still a vicious practice, and there is nothing wrong with throwing open the doors of the site's internal structure?
Naturally, I'm not worried about this particular example - well, who would think of hacking a calculator for a game? I'm worried about instilling in myself as a developer the right paradigms of thought =-)
But still, what should be uploaded to your Github profile? ..

My personal vision: Everything non-commercial in open source. Commercial projects - to private repositories
Do not add a file with passwords from the database and a file with tokens to the git, the main thing. Well, whether to create the appearance of security is your business. If the project is yours and non-commercial, I wouldn't worry about its sources.
