Git repositories for school projects
Hi, I'm studying compsci and during my time here I've accumulated a lot of projects for classes. The problem is that a few of those repositories are under other team members git accounts and I'd like to see it visible on my GitHub account. What's the accepted standard?
Should I just clone it to my own repository? Fork it? Should I just let it be and hope potential employers see that I have committed to the repositories of others?

fork it, it will be visible under your repositories. Also I doubt employers will care about little school projects.
Probably not about the projects themselves, but seeing growth in the way they're coded is probably useful.
It's also good for the student -- one of the best ways to see your personal improvement is looking at code you wrote a month ago and saying "man this is crap."
Thanks :) Actually I got a part time job as a developer a few weeks ago when I showed the minecraftesque voxel renderer I did as a part of a school project, so never say never ;)
minecraftesque voxel renderer is not a little school project. I was thinking of 4583 sorting alghorithms and credit calculators :P
Aah I see. If I would upload all that crap to github it would probably overload and set their servers on fire due to the sheer amount ;P
